Make

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Have everyone assemble their tacos with cabbage and fish, and serve with lemon wedges and side of broccoli!
