Fish Tacos

Another really great kid friendly one although they may not go for the fruit salsa - just leave it off if they won't eat it

1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 lb fish fillets - salmon or whatever they will eat
1/4 cup canola or olive oil
2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
1-2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper if needed

1 pkg taco shells or small flour tortillas

Fruit Salsa
1 kiwi, finely chopped
1/2 cup mango, finely chopped
1/2 cup pineapple, finely chopped
1/4 cup purple onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
1 tbsp lime juice


  1. Put the onions in the bottom of a medium baking dish and top with the fish fillets, canola oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.  Cover and set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for an hour or two.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet set over medium high heat.  Add the fish fillets and cook for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until just cooked through. Set aside on a plate or keep warm in a 200F oven.
  3. Add a little more oil and saute the onions, until soft and starting to turn golden.  Set aside in a separate bowl, or add to the fish.
  4. to make the salsa, combine the fruit, onion, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl; gently toss to combine and refrigerate until needed.
  5. To serve tacos, flake the fish with a fork and load taco shells or soft flour tortillas with some fish, and onions and top with fruit salsa.
