Fish Tacos with Tangy Yogurt Sauce and Spicy Green Salsa

You will need:
  • 1 single serving size Plain Fage greek yogurt
  • Mayonnaise 
  • Taco size tortillas
  • Tempura Mix (I use an "onion ring tempura batter mix" that I find at my grocery store)
  • 1 lb Talapia/Mahi Mahi or any other white fish you would like to use
  • Salt
  • Cumin
  • Cayenne powder
  • 6-8 whole peeled medium-large tamatillos 
  • 2 whole medium-large jalapenos
  • White onion
  • Cilantro
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • Green cabbage 

Green Salsa:
  1. Peel your tamatillos and garlic, and place on a baking sheet with the jalapenos. Place baking sheet in your oven under the broiler on HIGH for about 8-10 minutes or until blackened. Turn tomatillos and jalapenos over and return to the broiler for another 5-8 minutes or until blackened also.
  2. Place broiled tomatillos and jalapeno (take the stem off!!) into a blender along with salt (more or less to your liking) and about 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro leaves and blend until smooth. You may add water if the salsa is too thick. Add small amounts until you get to your desired consistency. It will also thicken a little after it cools. 
  3. Add desired amount of diced onions to your blended salsa and cool in the fridge, or eat it after its cool enough to eat. You can also add a tablespoon or so of lime juice if you desire. 

Tempura Fish:
  1. Make tempura batter as directed on the package and set aside. 
  2. Cut your fish into taco length pieces about 1/4 of an inch thick. This way they will cook fast. You can also make them thicker if you want meatier pieces.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a medium pan.
  4. Dip pieces of fish into batter and place immediately into oil and fry both sides until golden brown. Transfer fish to a paper towel to soak up the excess oil. 

Tangy Yogurt Sauce:
  1. Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of yogurt into a small bowl 
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of mayo and mix thoroughly.
  3. Add cumin and cayenne powder to the mixture for some flavor and let sit in the fridge while all the flavors marry.    


Shred Cabbage and heat the tortillas. Place fish into tortilla and top with cabbage, yogurt sauce and green salsa. Enjoy!
