Honey Lime Fish Tacos With A Creamy Tomatillo Sauce

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of a flakey white fish (like tilapia or sole)
• 6 corn tortillas
• 4 tablespoons of lime juice
• 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
• Honey
• Salt and pepper
• Garlic powder
• 1-1/2 cups of cabbage cole slaw mix
• 1 avocado

Creamy Tomatillo Sauce:

• 2 tomatillos
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 fresh cilantro
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 3 tablespoons of lime juice
• 1/4 cup of diced sweet onion
• 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Cover each side of the fish with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place in a shallow dish and add lime juice and olive oil. Drizzle honey over the top of the fish. Let this marinate for at least 6 hours or up to 24. If possible, flip the fish halfway through so each side has a chance to sit in the marinade.
2. For the sauce, add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and mix until it is creamy and smooth. This can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
3. Add a small amount of olive oil to a sautee pan and add the fish to the warm pan. Cook the fish until it is flakey and completely white. Break into smaller pieces and place on the top of warm corn tortillas. Top with cabbage, avocado and the creamy tomatillo sauce.
