Fish Taco Slaw - Low Carb, GF

This recipe needs a better title.  I realize it doesn't sound to good, but believe me it's delicious.

 Mmmmmm.....  I'm in love. I literally just finished eating and I immediately headed over the computer so I wouldn't forget this recipe.


For 2 people

3-4 Tilapia Fillets
1 Tbs Butter (or olive oil, but butter is so good on fish)
1 Tbs Lemon Juice
Trader Joe's Everday Seasoning and Garlic Salt to taste


For the Slaw:
1/2 Head of Green cabbage finely chopped "cole-slaw" style
1/2 Cup of Onion finely sliced and chopped
1 Large tomato finely sliced and chopped
1-2 Cloves of Fresh Garlic Pressed
1 Tbs of Fresh Cilantro or Freeze-dried
Pickled Jalepenos sliced (use to your preference)
1 Lime Juiced (or lemon)
Salt to taste

Shredded Aged Cheddar Cheese for a topping.


I pan-fried the tilapia on top of the stove in the butter, but you could also grill it on some foil.  Cook until well done and slightly brown on the edges appx 7-10 minutes over medium to medium-high heat. Season with the lemon and the seasonings as you cook the fish.

Let the fish sit in the pan off the heat while you prepare the slaw.  Mix all of the slaw ingredients in a medium bowl.  Make sure they are all finely sliced as you would for a traditional cole-slaw.  You could use a food processor for this (except for the tomatoes) , but I find it easier to just slice things myself.

Divide the slaw into bowls. Break up the fish into bite size pieces and serve warm on top of the slaw.   Sprinkle aged cheddar cheese on top.
