Crispy Fish Taco Bowl

We haven't had fish in a while so when I saw this recipe, I was immediately drawn to it. I usually season fish but avoid adding any additional fats or oils but for this recipe, I did use a small amount of mayo to help the panko breadcrumbs adhere to the fillets. It turned out great and was a crunchy treat to add to our taco bowls.

When I first made the sauce, I was a little nervous that it would be too spicy for the kids (I halved the adobo sauce called for in the recipe). If eaten alone, I think it may be however, when mixed with all of the ingredients in the bowl, it provided the perfect amount of added heat and flavor.

Asian Tilapia with Green Beans

This Asian Tilapia with Green Beans might be the tastiest fish dish I’ve ever made. It was such a fresh, light dish that was super healthy.

Lexie looked at her plate, said “I don’t like fish” then after taking a bite said “I do like this fish though.” That’s a serious Mom win! I do like fish but she was right, this was definitely delicious!

Fish Tacos with Avocado Crema

These Fish Tacos are one of our favorites! They are so easy to make and this healthy meal is ready to serve in less than 20 minutes. The crema sauce will last for several days in the fridge so you can enjoy it with any leftovers you may have. We typically eat these tacos in corn tortillas but you could also serve them in a lettuce wrap. So yummy!

Avocado Salmon Salad

This Avocado Salmon Salad is light and fresh and full of flavor. It would be a lovely salad to serve in the summer when fresh dill can be added to the top. I am typically not a huge lemon fan but this salad was a definite keeper for our family.

To slice the veggies, I used my mandoline for a quick and uniform slice in no time at all. I have the older model of this de Buyer mandoline which I love. The blades are SUPER sharp so beware. It comes with interchangeable blades to slice, crinkle, julienne 4mm and 10mm, and waffle cut. It also has an integrated cube system. One side of the blade is serrated for waffle cuts; the other side has a micro-serrated edge for cutting fruits and vegetables. The newer model pusher is a nice upgrade to protect your fingers.

Just be careful when washing it! I’ve had other mandolines in the past that I always had to replace because they didn’t work well. This mandoline does everything you need and more!
