Baja Slaw for Fish Tacos

This is a great dish for summer.  It is very versatile – you can serve it will grilled or broiled salmon, cod, or mahi mahi for an advanced plan option OR with sprouted grain tortillas for a core plan recipe.

For the Baja Slaw…

Slice very thin:
1 cucumber
1/2 head cabbage
2 tomatoes
1/2 large onion
1 red bell pepper
any hot pepper you like (jalepeno, poblano, etc)

Add:
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 cup grapefruit juice
1/2 cup lime juice

Let marinate for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.

For the fish:
Season with salt, pepper, and chili powder and grill or broil to desired doneness.

For an aioli type dressing:
Homemade Mayonnaise (recipe in the Maximized Living Nutrition Plans book) with ground chipolte pepper.

NOTE:  for the Core Plan, you can use a grapeseed oil based mayonnaise.

Advanced Plan:  Put the slaw on a plate and top with fish and aioli

Core Plan:  Put fish in a sprouted grain tortilla and top with fish and aioli

Creamy Lime Coconut Cod

I just made the most delicious fish by just experimenting and using what I had on hand.  These are my favorite kind of recipes – minimal ingredients, creativity, and time saving.

4 fillets of cod or other white fish
Zest & Juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon coconut or grapeseed oil
1/4 c. grated onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tsp dried cilantro or 2 tbsp fresh cilantro

Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper and set aside.  Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions  and garlic and sautee until softened. Add coconut milk and lime juice; boil until thickened. Stir in lime peel.  Add the fish into the pan and sautee until fish is just opaque in center
