Doin' Some Cookin'... Fish Tacos with Sautéed Zucchini


These fish tacos are nothing like restaurant-style. These are minimalist tacos and a diet friendly dinner for those trying to watch their waistlines. No addition of sour cream and the fish is not batter fried. The fish is pan fried with a simple bed of sliced avocado on a corn tortilla and served with a side of sauteed zucchini. The chili powder and cayenne pepper give this a fiery bite to help boost flavor but please note it may be too spicy for the little ones. 


Fish Tacos with Sautéed Zucchini
Makes 2 Servings

Stars of the Show:
  • 1/2 lb halibut

Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Place the halibut in a small bowl and drizzle with 1/2 of the lime juice. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the zucchini and season with salt. Once browned drizzle with the other half of the lime juice and cilantro.
