Frying Pan Method

Serving

• Serve with avocado salsa, and your choice of toppings such as warm low carb tortillas, lettuce leaves or in a taco bowl.

🍽️Equipment:

• Air Fryer

Last Summer I bought one of the combination Air Fryer / Pressure Cooker / do everything but the grocery shopping appliances and have never looked back.

I'm sure there are a lot of good air fryers out there but this is the one that has taken my abuse with zero backtalk for the last year.

You can use any white fish that your lil ole heart desires. The beauty of this recipe is in the spices. They'll go great with any firm, white fish (Mahi Mahi, Halibut, Tilapia).

How long does the Fish Taco Recipe keep in the fridge?

I never keep fish more than 24-48 hours max. But the salsa will last for 5-6 days if you don't finish it.

What should I serve with the Fish tacos?

You mean besides the usual taco toppings?

• Low Carb Margaritas
• Frijoles Borrachos
• Bacon Guacamole
• Quick Pickled Onions
• Flan

That's all for the Low Carb Fish Tacos!

Didn't I say these were an easy win?

Sometimes with the Low Carb WOE we get all caught up in making complicated recipes to take out minds off of the fact that we can't have this or that. Wouldn't it be better if we could just remember how MUCH is STILL on the table?

This isn't complicated nor does it take expensive, hard to find ingredients. It's just good food that happens to be right up our low carb alley.

(Unless you count the low carb tortillas. But even my tiny store in the sticks has those these days.)
