Fish Tacos with Spicy Slaw

This was my first time trying fish tacos.  I've always been a little leery of them as I haven't been much of a fish fan in the past.  This year, however, I've been all over fish.  These fish tacos were the bomb diggity! 

I'm convinced the spicy slaw is what took these over the top.  Grilled jalapenos really kicked up the heat to 11.  Consider that your warning here.  Go easy on the slaw or go easy on the jalapenos in the slaw.  I went all out because I like to sweat when I eat spicy stuff. 

These tacos are also low in calories which is great for bikini season.  Yeah, bikini season is here and it's not going away.  Along with watching what I eat I've been working out to Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred.  I have made it through Level 1 already and I'm 3 days in to Level 2.  Level 2 is much harder than Level 1 but it gets easier.  I think I may add some running in to these workouts as well.

Fish Tacos with Spicy Slaw
Yield 4 servings

---

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill
• 1 pound skinless firm, white fish fillets, such as cod or striped bass, cut into 3-inch pieces
• 1 small bunch cilantro - I used parsley due to the hubs extreme distaste of cilantro
• 3 jalapenos
• salt and pepper
• 1 tomato, diced small
• 3 Napa cabbage leaves, shredded
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• Smoky seasoning salt (recipe below)
• lime juice, plus wedges for serving
• 8 corn tortillas, toasted
• sliced avocado, for serving

Instructions:

1. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high.  Clean and lightly oil hot grill.  Combine fish, cilantro (or parsley) stems, and jalapenos.  Coat with oil and season with salt and pepper.  Grill fish and jalapenos until fish is opaque throughout and jalapenos are charred and tender, about 5 minutes per side.
2. In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cabbage and onion.  Seed and finely chop 2 grilled jalapenos and add to bowl.  Season to taste with seasoning salt and lime juice.  Flake fish and divide among tortillas.  Top with slaw and serve with cilantro (or parsley) leaves, remaining grilled jalapeno, thinly sliced, more seasoning salt, lime wedges, and avocado.
