Tacos need not be only about Mexican flavors. Here, tender trout is adorned with a seasonal slaw and a punchy yogurt sauce. Dare we say a taco night with serious photo appeal? Salmon or arctic char are good stand-ins for the trout.
Pile it on
To transform these tacos into bowl food, omit tortillas and place cooked brown rice, quinoa, or sorghum in serving bowls and top with fish, slaw, and yogurt sauce.
