Ingredients
  

  • Tilapia for 4 (For 2 tacos per person, I estimate this to be about 2 lbs of fish total. Use whatever white fish you like, or try shrimp!)
  • almond meal soft tortillas (the Siete brand ones are GREAT. Sub tortilla of your choice, or leave out the tortilla altogether - this is also great as a salad!)

Marinade/ Jerk Seasoning

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried ginger
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp evoo

Slaw Ingredients

  • 1 bag kale salad mix (I use the pre-made sweet kale salad mixes you can buy in the bag salad section (but not any of the the packaged dressing/nuts/etc. inside) , but I've used arugua, too. Any mix of hearty/ bitter greens will do.)
  • 1 bag shredded brussel sprouts (if you don't like brussel sprouts, leave this out. they are one of my favorite foods so... I keep them in).
  • champagne vinaigrette (follow link below to this recipe)

Spicy Asian Dressing (follow link below to this recipe)

    Instructions
     

    • Make spicy asian dressing found here.
    • Preheat oven to 425.
    • Mix all the spices for the marinade/ jerk seasoning together, then add the lime juice and evoo. Combine.
    • Cover/ rub on the fish and let sit for at 15 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, once the oven is preheated, roast brussel sprouts tossed in a little evoo and salt for 15 minutes (or until the ends are just getting crispy). Remove from the oven and set aside.
    • Preheat oven to 400.
    • Roast fish in the oven for 15 minutes or until done.
    • Meanwhile, make the champagne vinagrette found here.
    • Toss kale salad mix, brussel sprouts, and champagne vinaigrette together. Set aside.
    • When fish is done, assemble tacos. Heat up a tortilla in a pan, add slaw, add a piece of fish, drizzle with the sauce, devour.
