Baked Cod Tacos

30-minute dinners are my go-to during busy weeks, and these fresh and vibrant cod tacos with a simple cabbage slaw are the perfect dish to add to your meal rotation. The cod is seasoned with a homemade spice blend, baked and assembled in almond flour tortillas with cabbage slaw, avocado, jalapeno and hot sauce.

It’s an easy dinner that the whole family will love!

These tacos are the ideal dinner recipe since you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time for an easy meal prep. Simply bake the cod, prep the coleslaw, and assemble your tacos when ready to eat.

I love to serve these with fresh squeezed lime juice and extra hot sauce. For an added crisp, you can pop them in the air-fryer before serving.

This is a paid collaboration with @avocadosloveonetoday. These grilled chicken avocado summer rolls with a creamy avocado jalapeño salsa for dipping are an easy, delicious way to eat more avocado

Did you know that avocados are a good source of vitamin K and offer 136 micrograms of lutein per serving? Lutein concentrates in areas of the brain, where it may help support memory, executive function, and overall brain health. 🧠

An observational study of over 2800 older adults found that people who eat, on average, about 50 grams of guacamole or 70 grams of fresh avocado in a day have better cognitive function than non-consumers. The Avocado Nutrition Center supported this analysis based upon the NHANES survey data using 24-hour dietary recalls. Although the findings cannot be considered causal, and more studies are needed to confirm these findings, the data suggest a role for avocados in cognitive health.https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2021.746453

Save this for your next snack and send it to a friend who’d love these. Full recipe linked in my bio. 🥑
