The summer months call for lighter fare that’s still big on flavor. Fish is the perfect summer food. Delicate, flaky white fish can be grilled on the BBQ and added to countless summer recipes for the perfect, low-cal, nutritious meal.

Fish tacos are a delicious alternative to traditional tacos that generally use greasy minced beef. I love how the delicate flavor of white fish can be jazzed up with a variety of fresh, healthy ingredients, making tacos a great way to fill up on delicious veggies. The kids will love them too!

There are so many variations on this recipe, so feel free to put your own stamp on it by adding your favorite veggies, salsa and cheese.
