What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Second Helping of Zesty Fish Tacos. The first time my California friend ordered Fish Tacos, I was like, “Whaaaaaaat??” After all, being a Midwestern girl, fish was caught to be dredged in beer-batter or lemon-peppered, deep fried, and eaten with a side of French fries. Not exactly good for the heart, but tasty. Well, my taste buds have matured over the years and now I tend to cook a little healthier without sacrificing great flavor…..which brings me to the Recipe of the Day.
ZESTY FISH TACOS
Ingredients:
2 Tilapia fillets
1 egg
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons Panko seasoned bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tortillas, flour or corn
1 cup shredded broccoli-carrot blend
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 green onion, snipped
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Mix egg and lime juice in a shallow dish. On a sheet of waxed paper, use a fork to blend flour, cornmeal, Panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin powder. Dip fish fillet in egg mixture to cover. Then coat with crumb topping. (This can be done more than once for an extra crispy crust.) Place breaded fillets on a greased baking dish. Bake for 8 minutes. Flip over bake 4 minutes longer. If you prefer a crispier crust, broil 4 minutes longer. Watch carefully. Fill each tortilla with fish, broccoli-carrot blend, salsa, and Greek yogurt. Garnish with green onion snips.
Wow. They look amazing 🙂
