Tacos always a fun family

favorite for Fish Fridays

Moms Tassleberry realizes Fish Fridays can be a chore for the harried homemaker.
This week she contributes her fifth in a series of easy-to-prepare healthy fish recipes for those families observing the season of Lent.

For this week's quick, savory meal, Moms suggests you whip up some codfish tacos, always a popular family favorite.
This is her fifth Fish Friday recipe following Double Strawberry Baked Halibut, Broiled Strawberry Jerked Swordfish, Blueberry Salsa Roasted Salmon and Strawberry Smothered Broiled Tuna Steaks (scroll down page to access these recipes). Check this page each Thursday for that week's suggestion.
The recipe below employs Tassleberry Farm Strawberry Marinade in its preparation and Tassleberry Farm Strawberry and Sweet Corn Salsa as a condiment.

A perfect compliment for seafood, our marinade combines sweet strawberries and tangy strawberry vinegar with savory onions and seasonings. It was chosen by the online journal The Nibble as a Best Barbecue Sauce.
Our salsa is a tasty all-natural mixture of our farm-grown sweet corn and strawberry vinegar added to fresh peppers, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, salt and sugar. It comes mild or hot, according to taste.
Low in cholesterol, fat and calories (just 4-5 per tablespoon), salsa is high in vitamins A, B6 and C and proves itself a good source of iron, magnesium and potassium and beta carotene.

A fish-rich diet will provide one with a better cholesterol profile (high HDL, low LDL) and codfish has properties that protects your skin against sunburn and potentially skin cancer.
