If you have never had fish tacos, you are in for a treat. And even if you know how great fish tacos can be, if you have never tried them with mandarin oranges you are also in for a treat with this hearty and healthy fish taco recipe.

Ingredients:

1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained and halved (or you can substitute fresh mandarin oranges)
2 ripe large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
1-2 serrano chili peppers, seeded and finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Sea salt, to taste
1/3 cup soy and canola free mayonnaise*
1 tsp. ground cumin
Ground black pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp. olive, coconut, palm or hemp oil
1 lb. cod or other firm white fish filet, cut in eight 4-inch by 1-inch pieces
8 six-inch tortillas or 6 eight-inch tortillas - use either corn, wheat or unbleached flour tortillas
1 1/3 cup finely shredded green cabbage (1/2 small head)
1 cup finely-shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup minced cilantro leaves
Butter or olive oil to coat tortillas

*Make your own soy and canola free delicious mayonnaise from one of the recipes here:

Homemade Soy and Canola Free Mayonnaise

(As always, for the very healthiest versions of any recipe choose organic content as much as possible.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. To make the salsa, combine the tomatoes, onion, serrano pepper and lime juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and set aside.

3. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise and cumin. Season to taste with black pepper and set aside. Heat the oil in a large, preferably heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish. Cook until golden on all sides and opaque in the center of the thickest part, about 2 minutes per side, 8 minutes in all, turning the fish with tongs or a spatula.

4. Coat the tortillas lightly with butter or olive oil. Warm them on a griddle or large pan. Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil. To serve, place tortillas on dinner plates. Sprinkle cabbage and lettuce over each tortilla and add a dollop of mayonnaise. Place fish pieces on top. Add the cilantro and mandarin oranges to the salsa and spoon a generous amount over each taco. Serve immediately.
