Ingredients: ½ medium mango, chopped; ¼ medium red onion, finely chopped; ½ medium avocado, chopped; ½ medium jalapeno pepper, seeds and veins removed, chopped; 2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, finely chopped; ½ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt), divided use; 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice; 1 lb. raw tilapia (or cod, halibut, or mahi mahi), washed, patted dry; 4 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warm; 1 cup shredded red cabbage; 4 lime wedges (for garnish; optional)

Fish tacos are a perfect way to shake up your Taco Night. They can be ready to eat in a half hour or less, and they can be made with a seemingly endless variety of salsas and other toppings.

An easy, foolproof way to cook your fish: broiling. Quickly broiling fish in an oven yields juicy results, and keeps the flaky pieces of fish from falling apart (cooking it in an oven also prevents lingering fish odors).

In this recipe, we paired succulent bites of whitefish with crunchy cabbage and sweet and spicy mango and avocado salsa.

All you need to do is pop the fish into the oven and chop a few ingredients for the salsa while it bakes. If you’re handy with a barbecue or have a grill pan, you can also grill the fish.

For a low-carb version of this recipe, replace the corn tortillas with lettuce leaves, or serve the fish with mango avocado salsa alongside your favorite steamed veggies.
