Fish Tacos by Jessica

1 pound tilapia fillets
2 T. olive oil
juice from 1/2 a lemon
pinch of sea salt

Fish sauce (can also use tartar sauce if desired) recipe from allrecipes.com
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 teaspoon minced capers
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
1/2 medium head cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 each of sweet red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, sliced and/or chopped
feta cheese crumbles to taste
balsamic vinegar to taste (if not using white sauce)


Directions:
Saute fish in olive oil.  Squeeze juice from 1/2 a lemon onto fish, and sprinkle with salt.  Cook fish until flakes with a work, about 8 minutes.  

To make white sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and mayonnaise. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is slightly runny. Season with jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, dill, and cayenne.

 To serve, place fish in a tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, chopped peppers, feta, and white sauce if desired.  To simplify, you can omit the white sauce and try something like balsamic vinegar for a tangy, yummy dish!
