Mia Russo Stern’s Fish Tacos
Eating healthy and January seem to go hand in hand, but when game day approaches we want bold flavorful foods that we can eat with our hands.
One of the best features of this recipe is that it can be cooked on the grill while your oven and stove top are filled with the rest of the menu you’re cooking up for your hungry crew. Grab a cold one and start chopping.
Fish Tacos
8 Organic non-gmo corn tortillas
(wrap in foil and warm in a hot oven for about 5-10 minutes)
For the Fish
- 1 lb atlantic cod
- 2 – 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of organic grass-fed butter
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- pinch of sea salt and black pepper
- juice from 1/2 lime or yuzu and the zest
The Accoutrement:
- 1 small box of kale (or any)
- Microgreen/sprouts (about 1 cup)
- 1 small box of sunflower sprouts (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup purple cabbage sliced thin
The Cabbage
- 1/2 cup of cilantro, chopped fine
- 1 jalapeño, diced fine
- 1/2 red onion sliced into very thin shreds
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 lime, juiced and zested
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- pinch of sea salt
- black pepper
- 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
Compound Mayo
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 avocado
- juice from 1/2 lime and the zest
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp ancho chili powder
Fruit Salsa
- 1 cup diced pineapple
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 shallot chopped fine
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- juice from 1 lime and the zest
- pinch of sea salt
- black pepper
- 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
Preheat your oven to about 400°. It was hot, so we cooked the fish on a baking sheet lined with foil and covered with foil on our BBQ. This worked very well. Wash your fish and check for bones. Pat dry. Lay fish down on lined baking sheet. Drizzle with about 3 tablespoons of olive oil, spread it around with your hands. Cut up about 1-2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter and spread that around. Season fish with fresh garlic (minced) salt and pepper, Squeeze citrus juice and zest. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes depending on thickness. Check often for doneness. I like to start my washing all of my sprouts and cilantro. Dry them well.
THE SLAW: In a small bowl add 1 cup of shredded cabbage with 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, shallot, jalapeño and red onion. Season with salt and pepper, maple syrup garlic. Toss and let sit until you are ready to assemble. Chill in fridge
FRUIT SALSA: Add all the ingredients to a bowl and toss, chill in fridge.
MAYO: Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. I like to then transfer to a squeeze bottle so that it’s pretty when I add to my tacos.
Once the fish is cooked, let it cool down for just about 5 minutes. Warm your store-bought organic tortillas wrapped in foil for about 5 minutes on the BBQ. Start assembling.
Taco. Fish. Fruit salsa. Cabbage slaw. Kale sprouts. Sunflower Sprouts. (Raw fresh organic corn if you like.) Generous squeeze of compound mayo, maybe a little lime zest and a squeeze and you are off!

Prebiotics are typically non-digestible fibers, such as oligofructose or inulin that beneficial microbes can utilize for their metabolism. Examples of prebiotic foods, which contain these fibers, include:

The foods we eat can alter these microbial communities in our digestive tract. In turn, our complex human behaviors such as anxiety, learning, memory, satiety and appetite are influenced. In each of these circumstances, it is not typically an issue of eradicated one type of microbe in favor of another. Instead, it is always a matter of the balance of all of the varying participants within the gut microbial ecology that leads to the proper proportion of the correct microbes for our best health. Adjusting this balance is crucial as it is now understood that microbial gut imbalance, called dysbiosis, can be associated with obesity and its consequences, such as insulin resistance, Type II diabetes, hypertension and elevated blood lipids .

Like many of you, I have several “go to” recipes that I often put to work, yet I am always on the hunt for something new, something different.
What I found is that people are serious about their chili recipes. Some only use ground beef. Some only chunks of sirloin. Some a mixture of ground beef and pork and the thickness and vegetable content and type varied as well. By a lot.
I did not use tomato puree or sauce as a few of the recipes called for. I purchased 3 – 14 oz cans of fire-roasted tomatoes and took 2 of the cans and puréed them with a bit of garlic, olive oil and fresh ground black pepper before adding to the dish. The third can went directly into the chili without modification.
