Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the dressing before frying the fish, so the flavors have time to develop. Allow to sit at room temperature if you're going to eat immediately, otherwise keep in the refrigerator. The dressing tastes best when it's not ice cold.
- With a sharp knife or mandolin, shred or slice all vegetables finely except the avocado. Split the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out avocado pieces with a spoon and cut in slices. Place on a plate together with the vegetables. Salt and pepper to taste, drizzle olive oil on top.
- Salt the fish on both sides and let sit for a few minutes. Wipe the fish dry with paper towels and rub with Tex-Mex seasoning on both sides.
- Fry the fish in oil on medium temperature for 3-4 minutes on both sides, depending on size. Lower the heat towards the end. You can also fry the fish in the oven or on the outdoor grill, using a gridiron.
- Flake the fish into smaller pieces using two forks. Sprinkle with dressing and top with fresh cilantro.

This made me smile as I had the same thought about the cabbage at first, but I have learned to trust our recipe team here at Diet Doctor! This is a delicious one!
You will need to adjust the number of servings each time you visit a recipe page.
That does sound good. This is a summer favorite here as well!
