Finally all moved!!!! YAY! I am seriously not moving for like 10 years now...moving is the worst.
So the weather is getting warmer and that means lighter meals. There is just something about warm weather that makes you not want to eat heavy meals or a lot of food. But that's okay because warmer weather means swim suit season and we all know what that means....every girl starts to freak out! haha But it's okay, we will all be alright this year if we just stick to healthy whole foods.
So tonight was definitely a fish taco night. I usually use tilapia or cod and cod sounded really yummy. But we all know that it is the cole-slaw that goes on top that usually makes it or breaks it. The cole-slaw that I make is mayo free and packed with tons of flavor.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. lime juice
1 tsp. vinegar
1 jalapeno, diced
2.5 cups of cole-slaw or finely chopped cabbage
Instructions:
1. Measure and pour all of the ingredients into a bowl saving the cabbage for last and mix really well. Make sure all of the ingredients have blended.
2. Cover and place in fridge for 30 minutes for the flavors to set in. This is just the perfect amount of time for you to cook your fish!
Breading your fish:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Instructions:
1. Set up a dipping station with three bowls and each of the three ingredients in a separate bowl.
2. I used four 4 ounce pieces of cod.
3. Dip each piece in flour covering it completely, then egg, and lastly the bread crumbs.
4. Transfer to a hot pan with a little bit of olive oil. No more than 1 tbsp.
5. I cooked the pieces of cod as whole pieces and I didn't cut them up before hand so that I didn't have to dip a million pieces. So since they were bigger and thicker it took about 10 minutes per side. If you decide to cut them up into smaller bites then it should only take about 2 minutes per side.
6. I know that my fish is done when it becomes flaky and falls apart by the slightest touch. I cut them into smaller pieces when they were done to make putting pieces in the taco easier!
Enjoy :)
