Eat more Fish!

Spring always makes me feel like cooking more with fish.  Probably because even though the days are longer, I have so much more to do, with planting the garden and cooking and photographing food that I end up short on time.  We eat a bit later as well and eating a lighter dinner suits me.

Why you want to make these Tequila Lime Fish Tacos with Kale.

Tuna is one of those fish people are afraid to cook with, but it really is a much more forgiving fish.  Because it is so meaty {thick & dense} you have a bit more room for error.  This recipe is so simple to pull together that you will be amazed how quickly you will have it on the table for the family.

Fish Tacos seem to be on most restaurants menus these days.  I really haven’t had one that was bad but has had a lot that was lacking in flavor.  This dish is sure to please, the tequila and lime add a great tang to the fish and the kale and coconut cream are a great healthy accompaniment.

If you are eating Paleo, just omit the tortillas and eat this recipe in a bowl layering first with tuna, kale, cream and avocado.
