Jerk Fish Tacos with Pineapple Slaw Recipe
Lisa Grant | Jersey Girl CooksThese Jerk Fish Tacos with Pineapple Slaw are easy to make and healthy to eat. The jerk seasoning, mild fish and pineapple slaw will make your taste buds dance through dinner!
Fish tacos might be one of my favorite healthy things to eat. There is something about the texture of flaky fish nestled in a bed of crunchy but sweet slaw on a corn tortilla that makes me want fish tacos again and again.
These tacos can be topped with anything else you’d like. I serve many different toppings however cilantro, avocado and green salsa are my favorite. I also like to serve some guacamole and chips on the side.
Most mild white fish works well for this recipe however I prefer monkfish or cod. Monkfish is sometimes called the poor man’s lobster because of its meaty, lobster-like texture. All it needs is some jerk seasoning and lime juice to have a delicious flavor.
The monkfish is grilled in a pan for a few minutes and is such an easy taco filling to cook. I also like to use cod or tilapia but you can really use any type of fish you like.
The Jerk Fish Tacos with Pineapple Slaw are easy to put together and then it’s time to relax with a cocktail. Mango margaritas or mojitos are both perfect with these tacos. Basil Peach Agua Fresca is also a great drink to serve if you are looking for a nice non- alcoholic summer drink.
My favorite place to eat these tacos is on my patio. Roasted corn and tomato salad or another simple salad goes great next to them. I prefer to make any kind salad that can be prepared in advance. It’s much easier to enjoy dinner this way.
Now that you see how easy these fish tacos are to make, I hope they go on your dinner rotation often. I seriously could eat tacos three times a week.
