Cooking with the DOA Staff:
One way to stay connected to the co-workers we are used to seeing, and often sharing lunchbreaks with, is to share favorite recipes. Here is a one from Clerical Assistant Alycia Speas:
Alycia’s Fish Tacos:
Ingredients:
- Fish (your favorite)
- Coleslaw mix
- Mayonnaise
- Oil (olive oil for healthier option)
- Lime juice
- Honey
- Cilantro (optional, but recommended)
- Tortilla wraps (low carb for a healthier option)
Measurements:
- Eyeball it (my mom always told me to add a little at a time until it's just right!)
Instructions:
Slaw topping (make as much as you need to cover the amount of fish you're cooking. Season to your liking):
- Place coleslaw mix in a big bowl. Mix in mayo so that slaw is generously covered.
- Mix in honey until slaw tastes sweet.
- Mix in lime juice until the slaw taste sweet and tangy.
- Cover and place bowl in refrigerator
Fish and tortilla:
- Heat oil in pan while seasoning fish (here's a tip I learned from Gordon Ramsey: dry meat with a paper towel before seasoning so it sticks)
- Cut tortillas into fours and place in the center on stove so they warm up.
- When oil is hot, place fish in pan and cook on both sides until done. You want to get a crispy outside.
Place fish in tortilla, cover with slaw, top with chopped cilantro and lime juice and devour!
