Pairing Suggestions

This dish is not only delicious but also aligns perfectly with the ketogenic diet. The fish provides high-quality protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are excellent for heart health. The cabbage and avocado contribute vital nutrients and fiber, while the lime juice and cilantro enhance digestion. By using lettuce leaves instead of traditional tortillas, this recipe keeps the carbohydrate content low, making it ideal for those on a keto diet.

Special Tip

To enhance the fish's flavor and ensure it remains moist, marinate the fillets in the spice mixture for at least 20 minutes prior to baking. This allows the spices to deeply penetrate the fish, making each bite more flavorful.
