Tasty Fish Tacos

After an unsuccessful attempt to cook last night's dinner, I was even more determined to make this dinner and success (I never said I was perfect). In the end, however, I must say that this meal is in my top favorites that I have done so far!

For the main course
Grilled Fish:
- Fish
- 1 lime cut in half
- Ground cumin (about 1/4 teaspoon for each fish piece)
- Chili powder (about 1/4 teaspoon for each fish piece as well)
*More cumin and chili powder could be added if you want more!
- Garlic powder (enough to sprinkle on each fish piece)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Directions: on a cooking sheet, lay foil down and then the fish on top of that. Squeeze lime juice evenly on fish, and lightly sprinkle the oil on top of that. Then, evenly add the garlic powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Repeat this to the other side of the fish. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, then broil on high for about 5 (or when it looks as cooked as you want). Then, cut into cube shaped pieces.

For the tangy cabbage slaw:
- 1/2 head of red cabbage thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion also thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/2 Lime
- Directions: Combine the cabbage, onion, and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Squeeze the lime and add the oil and mix. Add in the salt and pepper as well. Set aside in the fridge until dinner.

Even more sides:
I served this meal with black beans and avocado as well, and you can also add salsa if you wish. Be sure to warm the tortillas before serving as well!

This is what the slaw looks like once it's mixed together

I highly recommend Trader Joes black beans
