Cooking Light Pizza

Published by Carolin on Tagged Pizza

Today I want to talk about a fish recipe. When you think of fish recipes I bet you any money that Fish Tacos do not come to your mind. Or at least it isn’t one of the top 10. I kept hearing about fish tacos and I am always up for a new fish recipe. Now cooking fish has to be one of the fastest proteins to cook. Not to mention one of the healthiest.

So I went to one of my favorite sites the Food Network to look for a good Fish Taco recipe. Well I came across one by Rachael Ray from her 30-minute meals show. Well I think I have mentioned before that I love Rachael Ray for her simplicity. Plus she makes meals very fast.

So the recipe looked great. The only ingredient that I was going to change was the type of fish. She used Halibut Fish and I was going to use fillets of Sole fish. Well I thought that was all that I was going to change. Because my avocados were not ripe except for one. I ended up changing the whole recipe. You know how I say make any recipe to suit yourself. Or in my case change the recipe to accommodate the ingredients you do have.

Well I have to say my Fish Tacos turned out great. So thank you Rachael Ray for the outline. I am sure her recipe is great and I will try it one day soon.

But for now here is my Fish Taco Recipe and I believe you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Sole Fish Tacos with Avocado and Salsa Sauce

6 Sole Fish Fillets

Salt and Lemon Pepper

1 lime juiced

1 avocado chopped

1 lemon juiced

½ tsp Ancho chili powder

1-cup plain yogurt (low fat is fine)

3Tbsp sour cream (low fat is fine)

½ cup salsa

2Tbsp fresh cilantro finely chopped

Salt to taste

2 tomatoes seeded and chopped

3 green onions sliced

Lettuce shredded

12 soft tortilla (6 inch)

Turn on Broiler

Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the Sole fillets on pan. Pour lime juice over top. Let fish sit for about 20 minutes. Drain off lime juice. Salt and lemon pepper the fish.

Cook under the broiler for about 8 minutes.

While the fish is marinating in lime juice. In a blender combine avocado, lemon juice, ancho chili powder, yogurt, sour cream and salsa. Blend until smooth. Remove from blender and add cilantro. Taste and add salt to taste.

While fish is cooking, heat up tortillas. To assemble, break up fish. On each tortilla spread some of the sauce. Then on one half pile some of the fish, lettuce, tomatoes and green onions. Then I put one more dollop of sauce on top. Fold over tortilla and voila you have a great meal. Serve it with some salad and maybe a rice pilaf and your tummy will love you.

COOKING TIP OF THE DAY

When you pour lemon or lime juice over your fish and let it sit a while. This actually starts the cooking process. Which means your fish will not take as long to cook.
