Method

Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Add the fish fillets to the bowl and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and break into bite-sized pieces.

Cabbage Slaw

    Mix the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soften.
