Make
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add in 1 tablespoon butter (15 ml) + 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cooking oil and then green onions to heated oil with a dash of salt. Saute for ~1 minute and then add fish with a dash of salt plus half of spices. Saute for about 6 to 8 minutes, until golden. If the fish breaks up a bit, that's ok. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and then set aside.
- Return skillet back to heat and add remaining tablespoon of oil. Add in cabbage with a dash of salt and the rest of the spices. Saute until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Finish it off with the sour cream and juice of half a lemon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- While cabbage is cooking, heat up tortillas according to package instructions and start broccoli. Place broccoli, garlic, and butter in a microwave safe container or a glass Pyrex bowl. Add 1 tbs. (15 ml) of water and sprinkle with salt. Cover with a lid or wet paper towel and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. Cook until broccoli is tender but still crunchy. When done, add a squeeze of lemon juice and toss so that the melted butter coats it all.
- Have everyone assemble their tacos with cabbage and fish, and serve with lemon wedges and side of broccoli!
