Ingredients


1 whole lime(s) Lime peel (zest)
1 whole lime(s) Lime juice (fresh)
2 clove(s) Garlic (quartered)
1 bunch Cilantro (coriander)
1/2 bunch Green onion (coarsely chopped)
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
1 pinch Sea Salt
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Water
454 gm Wild Atlantic halibut (skinless; any white fish will work)
4 cup shredded Green cabbage (or buy bagged and shredded)
1 whole lime(s) Lime juice (fresh)
1/2 bunch Green onion (finely chopped)
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch Sea Salt
2/3 cup Greek yogurt, plain, 1% M.F. (organic)
1 whole lime(s) Lime juice (fresh)
1 pinch Sea Salt
12 medium tortilla(s) Tortilla, corn (warmed)
454 gm Salsa verde, ready to serve (1 jar)

Instructions


  1. In a food processor or high powered blender, add lime zest, squeeze in the juice of 1 lime, the garlic, cilantro, coarsely chopped green onion, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until roughly chopped.
  2. Add the olive oil and water to the blender, and continue to pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky sauce. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the sauce.
  3. Cut the fish into 1/2 inch chunks and toss in a bowl with the remaining sauce. Let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the remaining 1 tablespoon of cilantro sauce with the cabbage, finely chopped green onion, the juice of the second lime, olive oil, and sea salt.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, the juice of the remaining lime, and a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Heat an oiled large nonstick skillet (preferably ceramic) over medium-high heat.
  7. Add about half of the fish, so the pieces are in a single layer and cook, turning until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes. 
  8. Transfer the fish to a plate and cook the remaining fish.
  9. In warmed tortillas, layer the yogurt sauce, cabbage slaw, fish, and top with salsa.
