FISH
1/2 cup shelled, unsalted pistachios
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 large egg
2 (8-ounce) wild-caught cod filets, cut in half, thawed, if frozen

Directions:
GUACAMOLE
In a medium bowl, combine all the guacamole ingredients, mashing with a fork to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper as needed. Set aside.
FISH
Place the pistachios in a food processor, and pulse two or three times, just until there is a mixture of larger and finer pieces. Transfer the nuts to a deep bowl, and add the ground flaxseed, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate deep bowl, whisk the egg.
Dip a piece of the cod into the egg wash to coat, then place the fish in the pistachio mixture, pressing down gently on each side so the breading completely coats the outside of the fish. Transfer the fish to a plate, and repeat with the remaining pieces.

In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Working in batches if necessary, add the fish and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until the outside is golden brown and the inside is flaky.
TACOS
Place each filet in a warm tortilla, or, for smaller portions, flake some fish onto each tortilla. Top each taco with guacamole, shredded cabbage, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges. Hope you love this meal as much as we do!
