Fish Tacos with Cilanto Lime Slaw

I wanted to make a fish dish for Glenn, and Doug suggested fish tacos. I looked at several recipes, and came up with these.

Ingredients:

Fish:

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 - 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon parsley
  
•  12 ounces of tilapia filets
  

Slaw:

• 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup mayo
  
• 1/2 cup packed cilantro
• 1/4 cup fresh line juice (2 lines?)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 green onions (just the green part)
• 14 to 16 ounce bag slaw mix
  

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup mayo
• 2 Tbsp lime juice, from 1 medium lime
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Shrimp:

• 1 pound peeled shrimp
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

 

Instructions:

1. For the slaw: Combine yogurt, mayo, herbs, and spices in a food processor
   
2. Pulse until well blended.
   
3. Put slaw in a large mixing bowl, drizzle on half the sauce and stir in.
4. Add rest of sauce, and stir in.
5. Add extra pepper or lime if needed. 

1. For the corn: Soak in water for 20 minutes,
2. Remove corn silk.
   
3. Microwave for 10 minutes in husks.
   
4. Remove husks, grill briefly on grill pan for some charring. (If you have time.)
   
5. Sprinkle with chili powder and queso frescco cheese, serve with sauce below.
   

1. For the fish: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F on fan.
   
2. Mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, and spices together.
3. Dip each fish filet into seasoned flour, turning to coat well. Collect several on a plate, then spray lightly with cooking spray.
4. Lay fish filets sprayed side down on a cooling rack on a half sheet pan. Spray the top side with cooking spray.
5. Cook about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each filet should read at least 140 degrees F (74 degrees C).
   

1. For the shrimp: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F on convection setting.
2. Pour melted butter on shrimp and toss to coat.
3. Place in a small pan.
   
4. Sprinkle shrimp with spice mix
   
5. Bake about 8 minutes
6. Transfer to serving dish, and spoon juices on top.
   

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! The recipe makes a lot of slaw - enough for 6 people.
The shrimps were very tasty, and everyone liked the sauce,

The recipe is adapted from multiple sources.
The sauce is from https://natashaskitchen.com/fish-tacos-recipe/ , the tacos were adapted from that site with the additional of an almond flour breading from https://carolelikesroundfood.blogspot.com/2020/01/air-fryer-chicken-strips.html
