Fish Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Crema-Mmm…

I made these last night and they were a big hit! Here’s the recipe as is…and at the end, I’ll I add the changes that I made…
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 tacos)
Ingredients
- Crema:
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 teaspoon grated lime rind
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
-
Tacos: - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets
- Cooking spray
- 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°.
To prepare crema, combine the first 8 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
To prepare tacos, combine cumin and next 5 ingredients (through garlic powder) in a small bowl; sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of fish. Place fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish in a bowl; break into pieces with a fork. Heat tortillas according to package directions. Divide fish evenly among tortillas; top each with 1/4 cup cabbage and 1 tablespoon crema.

- *I did make a few changes to get it just right, first of all I always put more garlic than is called for. I used mahimahi instead of red snapper (since I’m in a small town, fish variety is non-existent), I also added about 2 more tablespoons of light sour cream and instead of adding the cabbage and the crema separately, I mixed it together as more of a “slaw.” It turned out really well…if I had it to do again, I would make some sort of cold corn and black bean salad as a side. That would make it a perfect meal!
