Prep
Make
- Turn on your oven’s broiler and place an oven rack about 6 inches (15 cm) below it. Line broiler pan with foil and brush with cooking oil. Place tilapia on foil skin-side down and broil until cooked through ~3 to 4 minutes (more or less depending on the thickness of the fish). Watch it closely near the end to make sure it doesn't overcook.
- While fish is cooking, toss slaw and drain any extra liquid from the bottom of the bowl. Season with some salt and pepper. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over top.
- Serve tilapia over confetti slaw. Finish with hot sauce if you like a little extra spice!

Loved the salsa and slaw, but I think next time I'll use seasoned soy crumbles instead of the grilled veggies. Just didn't taste like a "taco."
I think it would have been better if the grocery list had worked properly. It left off the cabbage, so I didn't have the ingredient to make the slaw.
Made this while on vacation- simple and delicious!
Loved the slaw and salsa. Will use another white fish (not tilapia). Needs to broil 3-4 min on EACH side.
Yum!
This was surprisingly tasty! I was worried it wouldn't be as good because there wasn't anything "creamy" (like sour cream) to hold it together, and the flavors seemed a little too simple, and the fish too deceptively straightforward to make....BUT somehow, it all came togther in a very flavorful way! I was relieved, because we were having people over for dinner, and they liked it! :)
