01of 16Fish Taco Bowls with Green Cabbage SlawView RecipePhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Margret Monroe Dickey, Prop Stylist: Christine KeelyFresh salsa verde, green cabbage and avocado all contribute to the vibrant green color of this light and bright fish taco bowl. We love the mild flavor and firm, meaty texture of halibut but any firm white fish like mahi mahi or tilapia will work well in its place. We garnish this flavorful taco bowl with cilantro, but if you want to take it a step further, try toppings like sprouts or watermelon radishes for even more bright green color.
