Amazing Week Recipe Starter: Spicy Fish Taccos With Avocado Youghurt Sauce

I was scrolling through food recipes on the internet to find something friendly that I could add on the menu for my Keto clients when I came across the fish tacos with avocado-youghut sauce. I must say this particular recipe is not completely keto friendly but just incase one is stuck and they need to fix themselves something close to a diet-friendly meal, this could be one of your very many options. Here is how you can go about it.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp  chili powder ( I substituted with chilli flakes)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 500g  haddock fillets (or any other firm white fish)

Avocado-Yogurt Sauce:

• 2 large ripe avocado, pitted and roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 garlic clove minced
• ¼ ground cumin
• Ground black pepper  (to taste)

Marinate the Fish:

1. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, chilli flakes or chilli powder, cumin, paprika and salt and stir until smooth.
2. Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Rub on both sides with marinade. Transfer to a plate and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the Avocado-Yogurt Sauce

1. While the fish marinates, prepare the avocado-yogurt sauce.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the avocado, yogurt, lime juice, salt, cumin, garlic and process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Cook the Fish

1. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet set over medium-high heat, saute the fish in the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil until opaque and flaky, about 4-5 minutes per side.
2. Remove from heat, and transfer to a platter. Using a fork, break up each filet into bite-sized chunks. Cover with foil, and set aside while you warm the tortillas.

Assemble Tacos

1. To assemble, place a tortilla on a plate and place lettuce leaves on top of it, drizzle avocado-yogurt sauce on lettuce leaf. Add a layer of  fish and put any vegetable toppings of your choice. Serve immediately with bowls of toppings so that everyone can top off their tacos as they please.
