Fish Tacos

These Paleo Indian Fish Tacos combine tender, spiced fish wrapped in lettuce leaves, offering a fresh and healthy twist on a classic dish. The vibrant flavors of Indian spices elevate the dish, making it a delightful and nutritious meal.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Coconut flour - 2 tablespoons
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lettuce leaves (for wrapping) - 4 large leaves
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Cilantro (fresh) - a handful, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix coconut flour, turmeric, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spice mix.
2. Coat the fish fillets evenly with the spice mix, ensuring they are well covered.
3. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the spiced fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
4. Remove the cooked fish from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before breaking it into smaller pieces.
5. To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf, add a portion of the spiced fish, and top with sliced red onion and chopped cilantro.
6. Serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the tacos before eating.
