Recipe: Balsamic Fish Tacos

Fish tacos are my absolute favorite, and this recipe is the best!
Balsamic Fish Tacos from www.dineanddish.net

A recipe you will definitley want on your menu, the Dine & Dish Menu Plan for the week.

I am obsessed, with a capital “O”, with fish tacos lately. I just can’t get enough of them… so much that they’ve made a weekly appearance on our table for the past several weeks. I’ve made fish tacos before, but those tacos contained fried fish. Now, my favorite form of fish tacos is with thick cuts of white fish, cheese, cabbage and tomatoes, all with a douse of Marzetti Simply Dressed Balsamic Dressing. Oh dear me… these fish tacos are my new “I need dinner on the table in 15 minutes” meal. So fresh and so good…if you haven’t made fish tacos at home, I beg of you to give these a chance. Once you enjoy fish tacos for the first time, I think Taco Tuesday might start having a whole new meaning at your house!

Our menu for this week is full of classic winter dishes. We had over a foot of snow dumped on us this past week and we’re supposed to get at least that much again tomorrow. We’re hunkering down, staying warm, and filling our bellies with comfort foods.

Balsamic Fish Tacos

A quick and easy fish taco recipe, utilizing Marzetti SImply Dressed Balsamic Salad Dressing for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 4 Tilapia Fillets cut into 1 inch pieces (you may substitute any other firm, white fish)
  • 2 Tablespoons Zatarains Creole Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 head red cabbage coarsely chopped
  • 3 green onions diced
  • 1/2 cup Marzetti Simply Dressed Balsamic Salad Dressing
  • 1 large tomato seeded and diced
  • 2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 6 small tortillas warmed

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat, until butter is melted.
  2. Toss Tilapia fillet pieces with Creole seasoning.
  3. Add to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with salt.
  4. While fish is cooking, toss chopped cabbage and onion with Marzetti Simply Dressed Balsamic Salad Dressing. Once combined, add to the skillet with the fish and continue stirring over medium heat until cabbage becomes tender and fish is completely cooked through (approximately 5 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Assemble the tortillas with shredded cheese, fish and cabbage mixture, and topped with diced tomatoes. Drizzle with additional Marzetti Simply Dressed Balsamic Salad Dressing, if desired.

    I adore fish tacos and order them all the time!! I must admit – I usually only make them at home during grilling season but I’m loving this balsamic variation. Thanks for including my pork sandwiches in your meal plan – I hope everyone loves them!!

    I made this tonight and had some issues :(. My fish got mushy and my cabbage never really got soft, but more of a rubber texture. And, the red cabbage gave the fish a pinkish tint, which made it look undercooked. Even though the fish was good, the pink appearance and rubbery cabbage were not a good combo. What did I do wrong?

    […] Fish tacos can, of course, be finished in a series of ways. There are a crowd of adequate forms of fish, tortillas and add-ons. We cite tilapia for a some-more neutral deteriorate and relations inexpensiveness, however, we do advise that we splurge on fillets that weren’t farm-raised. We also suggest corn tortillas over flour — we’re not allergic or against to gluten, though a benevolence of a flour tortillas is distracting. We like to tip a fish tacos off with cabbage, diced tomatoes, avocado and a homemade chipotle immature cream. […]

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!

Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).

A is for Alone. I think one of the hardest things for me to get used to this past year is rarely being alone. My husband used to travel all the time. My school aged kids were in school all day while I worked. I’d even get several days a month in a hotel room by myself for my work travels. I like my alone time and it’s definitely something I miss.
.

I’m easily distracted so you will usually find me working in complete silence…maybe just the hum of my essential oil diffuser and the sound of my fingers on my keyboard. I need the quiet and treasure silence.
.

With that said, I’ve loved the extra time with my family - and we’ve all learned over the past several months how to give each other space and recognize when we need that space. As of today, my kids all are back to school full time in person 😢. Nick is still working from home and will be for the time being, but now the aloneness feels strange. I’m sure we’ll get used to this “new normal” yet again!
