2 tablespoons olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper

TACOS

¾ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon cumin

¼ teaspoon chili powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

10 ounces cod or other firm-fleshed white fish

1½ tablespoons ghee

4 to 6 whole cabbage leaves

In a large bowl, combine slaw mix, cabbage, sprouts, lime juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Cover and refrigerate.

In a medium bowl, combine avocado, mango, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss and season lightly with salt.

In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Pat fish dry on all sides with a paper towel, and then season evenly on all sides with spice mixture.

Heat ghee in a medium cast-iron pan or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until spices begin to turn dark brown and fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serve fish in a cabbage “taco” with slaw and salsa. Include a serving of pickled ginger on each plate if desired.
