You can use a different type of fish in this recipe as long as you use the same quantity and choose fillets of the same thickness (or increase or decrease the cooking time, depending on thickness). Before choosing a fish, I suggest you review the chart on that lists the fat contents of various fish, which in many cases immensely changes the nutritional profile.
Ingredients
Fish
- 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1½ pounds barramundi fillets, about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 cups spring salad mix or torn lettuce leaves (optional; omit if using lettuce leaves for wraps)
- 8 Taco Shells (or 8 large Boston lettuce leaves for dairy-free)
- ½ cup Cilantro Lime Sauce or Green Goddess Dressing (not egg-free)
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage, for garnish
How to Make It
- In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of the fish fillets.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish fillets (working in batches if you can’t fit them all in the pan without crowding). Fry for 5 minutes per side, or until the outside is dark brown and the fish flakes apart easily.
- Transfer the fish to a cutting board. Cut the fillets into 2-inch pieces. To Assemble
- Place a handful of the spring salad mix (if using) in the bottom of a taco shell. Top with two or three pieces of fish and drizzle on a tablespoon of the dressing. Garnish with purple cabbage.
