80--- Mahi Fish Tacos with Latin Slaw

High of 86 today-- perfect for grilling up Mahi Mahi for fish tacos!

Confession: I do not LOVE fish. I LIKE fish. But, I know that fish is good for me, so I try to eat it at least once as week. These fish tacos make it very do-able for me.

As you very well may know, fish is a wonderful source of omega-3 fatty acids. Mahi Mahi is not the BEST source, but it does contain around 0.13 g per 3 ounce serving (for comparison: a 3 ounce serving of salmon contains ~1.5 g and canned tuna contains ~ 0.2 g).

Omega-3 fatty acids help to decrease inflammation, improve memory and mental health, improve cardiovascular health, and possibly help to prevent cancers such as prostate, colon, and breast.

The slaw on these tacos is also a lovely side dish for any Latin-flavored meal! I served these with a side of refried black beans (lowfat- from a can) for a nice ~400 calorie dinner.
