Nutritional Benefits of Cod:
Cod fish is a nutritional powerhouse, boasting high protein content while being low in carbs and fat. With a whopping 20 grams of protein per 6 oz serving, cod is an excellent choice for those looking to fuel their bodies with lean, muscle-building nutrients. But that's not all—cod is also rich in essential vitamins and minerals such as B12, niacin, phosphorus, selenium, and iodine. Selenium and iodine, in particular, play a crucial role in supporting thyroid health, making cod a valuable addition to any balanced diet.
Ingredients:
- 2-4 cod fillets
- Minced garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
- Cabbage
- Purple onion
- Cilantro
- Avocado
- Corn tortillas
Fish Taco Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce
Method:
- Marinate the Cod: Begin by marinating the cod fillets in a mixture of minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika for at least 30 minutes to infuse them with flavor.
- Pan Fry the Cod: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Pan-fry the marinated cod fillets for approximately 3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the cod is cooking, prepare your taco toppings. Thinly slice the cabbage across the grain, slice the purple onion, and chop the cilantro. Slice the avocado into thin slices.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of cooked cod onto each tortilla. Top with sliced cabbage, purple onion, cilantro, and avocado.
- Drizzle with Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and soy sauce to create the fish taco sauce. Drizzle the sauce over the assembled tacos for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your homemade cod fish tacos are ready to be devoured! Serve them up with a side of lime wedges and enjoy the delightful fusion of flavors.
