Healthy Fish Tacos

This recipe for Healthy Fish Tacos captures all of the fresh flavors of a true Baja-style fish taco. Cod is lightly seasoned with salt and grilled (or broiled) until moist and flaky. Fish cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it until it’s done to your liking. If you have access to freshly made whole wheat tortillas, you would be a very lucky cook. For these, the recipe calls for sprouted, whole-grain tortillas warmed on a flat pan. Top them with shredded green cabbage, a fresh pico de gallo salsa, and a lighter version of créma made with yogurt and lime juice. A squeeze of lime is the finishing touch.
