Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 small whole wheat tortillas
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 medium avocado
- 100 grams mixed greens
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Cut the white fish fillets into strips and marinate with the olive oil mixture for 10 minutes.
While the fish marinates, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the parsley.
In a salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, parsley, and add red wine vinegar. Toss to combine and set aside.
Cook the fish in the preheated skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Prepare the tacos by layering mixed greens on each tortilla followed by cooked fish.
Top the fish with the prepared tomato and cucumber salad, crumbled feta cheese, and slices of avocado.
Serve the tacos immediately while the fish is warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
