by | May 5, 2020 | Entrees, Brunch and Lunch, Spicy Tuesday

Happy Cinco de Mayo! You just can’t celebrate without tacos. Here’s a riff on everyone’s favorite fish taco – but without frying the fish. Plus, is packed full of good-for-you broccoli slaw and one of our favorite spices – smoked paprika!

We love smoked paprika because it is rich in several vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. In particular,1 tablespoon has 19% of your daily needs for vitamin A. Smoked paprika may also boost eye health with its vitamin E, beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.

Fabulous Fish Tacos

Step One Preheat the oven to 350F. Bread the fish by placing the panko, cornmeal and paprika in a plastic zip bag. Add the fish slices a few at a time and shake to coat well. Place the slices on a parchment lined sheet tray and cook for 5 – 8 minutes or until the fish is flaky and white.

Step Two Place the slaw and a few slices of fish in each taco, garnish as desired with lime and avocado. Top with a healthy dollop of sauce.
