Sauteed Tilapa Roll with Lime, Sriracha Mayo and Tangy Honey Coleslaw

Don't you just love a great fish taco? One that takes you to somewhere in Paradise. It reminds me of a Summer spent on the Mexican Riviera. The crunch of freshly caught fried fish, and spicy coleslaw, wrapped in a warm taco is somewhat of a comfort food for me. This time I opted for a healthier version. Instead of the usual sugar to sweeten the coleslaw dressing, I substituted honey, which gave it a really nice, slightly sweet to taste, and I used olive oil to sauté the Tilapia instead of frying it.

4-4 oz fillets of Fresh Tilapia

Extra Virgin Olive Oil for brushing

2 Tbls. Rice Wine Vinegar

2 Tbls. Honey

1/3 cup of mayonnaise

Preheat sauté pan on Medium High. Lightly brush Tilapia Fillets with Olive Oil. Season with salt and pepper. Quarter 1 lime, and then squeeze the juice of 1 quarter of lime per fillet. Cook 3 minutes per side.
