Baha Fish Tacos

A really good fish taco with fresh fish, salsa and coleslaw! 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lbs fresh fish (mahi mahi yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo or any other favorite fresh fish), cleaned and skinned 
• 2 tbsp light oil (peanut olive ... or coconut!) 
• 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed 
• 8 each low carb tortillas 
• 1 cup prepared sweet sugar-free coleslaw 
• 1 cup salsa mexicana 
• 1 whole avocado peeled and sliced 
• salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste 
  

PREPARATION

1. Depending on your fish, you may need to cut it in different shapes and sizes. Essentially, you are looking for long strips of clean and super fresh fish.
   
2. Pre-heat a hot non-stick pan or a grill.
   
3. Once your fish cleaned and cut, season it well with salt, pepper, lime juice and oil.
   
4. Place your fish into the pan or on the grill. If you're using a pan, do not crowd the pan, or you run the risk of cooling the pan down too much and "steaming" the fish, rather than getting a nice hot sear on the flesh. You can do this in multiple batches, or using multiple pans on multiple burners, at the same time. Once one side is cooked, flip it and sear the other side. Cook the fish to your desired doneness. It goes quickly. 
   
5. While the fish is cooking, you can warm the tortillas in the oven, on the grill or directly on the burners, and stack them on top of one another, under a thick warm towel.
   
6. Serve the hot fish with warm tortillas and sides of salsa, coleslaw, avocados and fresh lime wedges!
