  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 tbs Cooking Oil (Avocado, Coconut, Olive)

For the Lime Crema:

  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk (or Tigernut Milk (or dairy-free milk of choice if not on AIP))
  • 1 Lime (juice and zest of)
  • 1/4 cup fresh Cilantro
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

For the Tacos:

  • Taco Shells (See notes for options)
  • Shredded Red Cabbage (roughly 1/8 cup per taco)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Toss the fish with the rest of the ingredients, making sure to cover the fish with the spices.
  • Place the fish into a glass baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when poked with a fork. You could also grill the fish for 4-5 minutes a side over medium-high heat if you'd rather.
  • While the fish is cooking, make the lime crema by mixing the ingredients together in a blender or food processor until creamy.
  • Prep any of the additional ingredients for the tacos that you desire.

Notes

Good options for Paleo and AIP taco shells are:
  • These cassava flour tortillas by Downshiftology (that's what I used in the photos) or other compliant tortillas
  • butter lettuce or other wide leaf lettuce like iceberg
  • collard greens
  • thinly sliced (and peeled) jicama
  • thinly sliced (and peeled) butternut squash
  • and if not on AIP, Siete tortillas are great too
