Baja Fish Salad

September 15, 2014 By Tekesha 8 Comments

Baja Fish Salad

Are you a kitchen dancer? Certain songs are just made for dancing around your kitchen, singing at the top of your lungs – mainly those with lyrics that are total nonsense. Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do? Mama say mama sah mama koo sah? Su su sudio? Galileo Galileo will you do the fandango? Whatever Snow is saying in that song Informer?? This, super easy, Baja Fish Taco SaladΒ is perfect for turning on your favorite nonsense lyric song, singing wildly into your carrot microphone, and still putting something really impressive on the dinner table. Other than baking the fish, it’s basically an assembly job. Also, whyyyy have I not been broiling my fish this whole time?!?! It is so simple and amazing!

Gather together:

  • 1 lb cod fish
  • 1 tomato, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 jalapeno, minced
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 1 head of napa cabbage, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • Pickled Red Onions
  • Salt and pepper

Set your oven to Broil.

Salt and pepper your cod and place it on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Broil the fish for approximately 10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.

When you pull it out of the oven, you should see that the fish has already started to separate into nice juicy chunks.

While the fish is broiling, assemble your salad.

Prepare your tomato, jalapeno, lime and cilantro.

I’m using Nando’s Peri-Peri Sauce, but you can use sriracha, Frank’s hot sauce, jalapeno tabasco or whatever else you have on hand.

To serve, fill a bowl half way with napa cabbage.

    This is such a good idea! I need to do this when I have fish left over from the previous night’s dinner, instead of being boring and eating the leftovers right out of the container. πŸ™‚
