Talapia Fish Tacos

Introduction: 

With fish, the fat in fish comes from the oils distributed throughout their flesh.  With beef and pork, the fat is stored in pockets. These oils have subtle flavors in and of themselves, and they contribute to the flavor of the fish.

Materials Needed: 

• 4 talapia fillets 
• Olive oil 
• 3 cloves of garlic (minced) 
• 1 lemon (squeezed into juice) 
• Salt and pepper
• 1/2 cucumber chopped
• 1/4 cabbage chopped
• 8 corn tortillas 
• minced onion 

Instructions: 

• In a large skillet, add oil until the bottom is covered 
• Once the oil has heated, add the fish to the pan
• Season with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and minced garlic 
• Once one side of the fish is cooked, flip (about 2 minutes on each side) 
• Once the fish is done, add the tortillas to a pan and heat
• Fill each tortilla with fish, cabbage, cucumber, and serve. 

Reflection: 

This recipe was "okay".  The fish could have had more flavor, and was really hard to keep the fillets from breaking into little pieces.  In addition, I also would have liked to add some salsa and avocados to the top of the tacos for flavor.
