Oh, baby! I love a good man with fine cooking skills.  This man is not only an amazing husband but a WONDERFUL father. I thought, why not feature him and his fantastic, fish tacos on Father's Day! I have to hand it to my hubs.  He is really bringing his "A" game.  He has perfected these fish tacos and I am loving them. Totally restaurant- style worthy.

This recipe will make about 4 fish tacos. I have broken down the recipe into two parts.  First the slaw, then the marinade.   To find the original recipe, click here.

Ingredients for slaw:
-  2 tbsp lime juice
-  1 tbsp honey
- 2 c shredded purple cabbage mixture in a bag OR we used this shredded power blend in a bag (brussel sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, kale) this time and it was great!
-  2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 c light mayo

To make the slaw, mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Ingredients for the marinade:
- 1 lb or 1.5 lb cod and/or tilapia (your choice) 
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- juice of 1 lime

Additional ingredients:
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil ( for cooking fish) 
- soft shell tortillas
- sour cream
- avocado

Mix ingredients together and let fish sit in the marinade for 15 minutes.  Next, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook until fish is cooked through,  3-5 minutes per side, and flakes with a fork.

Lastly, take a soft tortilla shell and top with fish, slaw, and a dollop of sour cream. You can also add a slice of avocado. Mmmmmm I can taste them now. Perfecto!
