If you are looking for a delicious meal that is also healthy, go through a Paleo Cook Book (Here’s one you can find at our Pro Shop: “Well Fed: Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat” ) and you’ll find many easy to prepare meals. For example, let’s take Fish tacos– a perfect simple, quick, tasty meal that’s also full of Omega 3 fatty acids.
Fish Tacos
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
~ juice of one lime
1 teaspoon cumin
1 jalapeno pepper, mince (optional)
1-2 pounds wild caught fish of your choice: mahi mahi, cod, grouper, red snapper, cut into no bigger than 4-inch (10 cm) pieces
1 Tablespoon avocado or coconut oil
1 head Bibb, Romaine, or iceberg lettuce rinsed, leaves kept whole
Combine olive oil, ancho chili powder, lime juice, cumin, and jalapeno in large bowl. Toss the fish into the marinade, and let sit for 15 minutes. Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat, and add avocado oil or coconut oil. Add the fish, cooking about 5 minutes per side or until fish is flaky. Break the fish into smaller, bite-sized pieces and serve with Tastiest Slaw Ever (see below), cilantro, tomatoes and Chipotle Dipping Sauce (see below.)
Tastiest Slaw Ever

1 mango peeled, pitted and chopped
1 cup cucumbers, peeled, seeded and cut into strips
Combine vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, garlic and black pepper in a small bowl. In a large bowl, mix all other ingredients. Mix well and pour liquid over the slaw, tossing to mix. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
