Monday night’s dinner looked like this:
Flaky fish tacos with mango avocado salsa and a side of black beans with fresh corn — no dairy, no gluten, all the summertime flavor.
I’ve been making this salsa since my family went to Mexico in 2004. Having deja vu? I wrote about this salsa over four years ago (!) in this post: Eating Down Memory Lane. Holy flashback!
I am pretty sure this fresh fruit salsa will never go out of style.
Flaky Fish (Cod or Halibut suggested) >>
- Marinate fresh cod fillets with fresh lime juice, olive oil, cumin, minced garlic, and salt in the Ziploc bag in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Place fish in a baking dish or parchment lined baking sheet and bake 12-15 until cooked through and flaky. The more lime juice, the flakier the fish.
Mango Avocado Salsa >>
- Dice 1 large mango and 1 large avocado into small pieces. Add to a small mixing bowl and add the juice of 1 to 2 whole limes.
- Add diced red onion (amount to your liking), 1/2 finely minced jalapeno, and a generous handful of minced fresh cilantro. Season with salt to taste. Let chill in the fridge before serving.
Recipe Notes >>
- As you can see, precise measurements for these tacos aren’t required.
- I imagine the fish would also be great grilled.
- They pair quite nicely with kombucha “margaritas”: Gingerade kombucha + tequila + fresh lime.
Oh my gosh I can’t wait to try that margarita recipe! I love regular margs and I love the Gingerade kombucha…but combined?! I’m sure it’s life changing!
It is!
Brian and I have had fish tacos on the brain…these look amazing!
Yum! I love, love mango salsa! I wonder how a different liquor would taste with kombucha? I’m not a tequila person, but a cocktail with gingerade kombucha sounds awesome!
I want to try vodka next: http://cookieandkate.com/2014/kombucha-moscow-mules/
Thanks for the link!
I LOVE fish tacos! Every time my friends want to go out to dinner I always recommend Mexican. I should try these healthier at home ones! : )
Much healthier indeed!
Totally trying the kombucha margaritas!
I love the combination of avocado and mango! I like a lot of cilantro with a bit of lime and spice :)
