Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa Ingredients:

Cod: This white, mild fish is perfect for these tacos. You can also substitute another fish like halibut, salmon or shrimp although I’ve never tried these options with this recipe.

Garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika: These spices are used for the seasoning on our fish. Of course, feel free to switch things or leave some spices out to make it exactly how you like!

Sea salt: This is a must for the fish and adding a pinch to the salsa is great to bring out the flavors. But, feel free to adjust the amount if you want.

Mango: The star for our fresh salsa in this recipe. You can use a fresh mango and cut it or use frozen mango chunks and let them defrost before slicing.

Red bell pepper: I love the color of the red bell pepper with this salsa but you can use any color you prefer.

Red onion: Again, I like the color but you can use a white or yellow onion instead if you like.

Cilantro: This ingredient can really be adjusted to your specific taste. So, use more or less according to your preference.

Lime juice: Adding a bit of acid to this sweet and savory dish is so delicious. Feel free to add more if you like or leave this out altogether.

Serve on your tortillas of choice. I use these grain-free almond flour ones to keep this recipe paleo.

Serves: 2

Seasoned Cod:

2 portions Cod
1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika and sea salt

1 cup mango (diced)
1 cup red bell pepper (diced)
1/4 cup red onion (diced)
a large handful fresh cilantro (roughly chopped)
juice of half a lime
a pinch sea salt

Instructions:

Allow cod to defrost completely if frozen.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pat fish dry with a paper towel and place in a baking dish. Combine garlic powder, cumin, chili powder and sea salt in a small bowl and rub all the seasoning mixture into your fish on all sides.
Place fish in preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes or until cooked through. (While your fish is baking is a great time to prepare your mango salsa).
Peel and dice your mango cutting around the pit and add it to a bowl along with your bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice and sea salt. Use a spoon to gently stir in order to combine ingredients.
Cut up cooked fish and divide between small taco shells* or place in a large tortilla*. Serve with a large topping of mango salsa and any other toppings you enjoy like avocado and fresh lime.

* To keep this recipe grain free and gluten free, make sure to use a tortilla that fits your needs. I like to serve these fish tacos on almond flour tortillas that are gluten free and grain free. These tacos are delicious on any kind of tortilla though, so feel free to use a flour tortilla if you don’t have a gluten sensitivity.
