Fish Tacos with Watermelon Salsa

What’s more synonymous with summer than fresh watermelon? As the temperatures rise and

summer makes its debut, there’s nothing better to satisfy our need for extra hydration and antioxidants. I invite you to get creative with this refreshing fruit by trying this tasty salsa that pairs well with just about any protein. – Fish tacos are a hit at my house, but you can serve with grilled chicken, tofu or shrimp. I make these tacos 10-Day Detox Diet and Blood Sugar Solution friendly by substituting taco shells with lettuce leaves.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Seedless watermelon diced
• 1 Fresh Ripe Avocado pitted, seeded & cubed
• 1/2 Red Onion finely chopped
• 1 lime Juice & Zest
• 1/2 Lemon Juice
• 1 Jalapeno Pepper stemmed & diced
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon plus pinch Sea Salt divided
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided
• 1 Tablespoon Dr. Hyman's Special Seasoning (see below)
• 1 Pound White flaky fish Cod or Halibut
• 16 Romaine or Butter Leaves

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the watermelon, avocado, onion, lime juice, zest, lemon juice, jalapeno and cilantro. Toss with the 1 tablespoon olive oil and ¼ teaspoon salt and set aside.
2. Prepare a pan or grill to cook the fish. If using the grill, preheat to high and coat the fish on both sides with the remaining oil. If using a pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat.
3. Sprinkle the fish with Dr. Hyman’s Special Seasoning and remaining salt. Cook the fish until opaque inside, about 5 minutes per side. When the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees, remove from heat and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes or until no longer hot, but still warm to the touch. Using a fork, break into big pieces.
4. To serve, place two lettuce leaves on top of each other to make a sturdy base for the fish. Place about ¼ cup of fish on each lettuce wrap, top with a couple tablespoons salsa.
