SUMMER GARDEN FISH TACOS
I like to serve fish tacos with quinoa and black beans for a complete and satisfying meal. If you’ve got them, add colorful summer toppings like bright peppers, green onions or purple carrots.
PREPARATION
Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Grill corn and pepper, covered, over medium heat 10-12 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally. Cool slightly.
Meanwhile, sprinkle fish with salt. Grill fish and squash, covered, over medium heat 7-9 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork and squash is tender, turning once.
Cut corn from cob and place in a bowl. Chop pepper and squash; add to corn. Stir in tomato, onion, cilantro, lime peel and lime juice. Serve fish in taco shells; top with corn mixture and avocado slices.
Yield: 4 servings.
Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium ear sweet corn, husk removed
1 poblano pepper, halved and seeds removed
4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 yellow summer squash, halved lengthwise
1 medium heirloom tomato, chopped
1/3 cup chopped red onion
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon grated lime peel

HEALTH BENEFITS
1. it’s good for your growing kids, too.
If you have picky eaters in your household, getting them to scarf down much needed nutrients can be a daily battle. This is where Tilapia comes in: The fish is packed full of all the healthy things kids need, especially protein. The protein is good for helping your kids grow and the mercury-free nature of the fish means it’s safe. To top it off, its mild flavor means they’ll be sure to like the taste!
2. The fish eat well.
Most Tilapia are raised on vegetarian diets, which not only affect the taste of the fish and the nutrients contained, but it’s also a step in the right direction as far as being more efficient with resources. Not only are Regal Springs Tilapia fed a diet of US soybeans, corn and premium grains, they are also raised without additives, preservatives, growth hormones or chemicals—at any stage of the operation.
3. It’s got your vitamin B12 covered.
Vitamin B12 is an important vitamin for cognitive functioning and helps red blood cells form properly. In a typical serving, Tilapia has 2.4 grams of Vitamin B12, and your body needs about 2.4 grams to function properly. You don’t have to be a mathematician to figure out that makes your work pretty easy.
4. It’s good for your bones.
Tilapia has a dynamic duo of calcium and phosphorus working on its side. Calcium helps your bones and teeth stay strong and healthy, and phosphorus helps both bones and nails from getting brittle.
