This is one of my husband's all-time favorite meals. I've even converted some friends to fish after eating this. I serve it with fresh melon when it's in season to balance the subtle heat of the cabbage mixture. —Elizabeth Bramkamp, Gig Harbor, Washington
Place the first 4 ingredients in a bowl; toss with 2 teaspoons oil, lime juice, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
Pat fillets dry with paper towels; sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; cook tilapia until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 3-4 minutes per side. Top with slaw and avocado.
Health Tip: If you’re following a low-carb diet, this dish is for you! If not, pair it up with a whole grain side like brown rice pilaf or corn and pepper saute.

Deliciousness. We love fish and have it often, in this recipe I used Walleye. Used more cumin and parsley to substitute for cilantro. Loved the crispiness of the slaw. Can't wait to try this when tomatoes are in season for I think it would be a great addition. Unfortunately, this was made during all the hoarding during the COVID-19 pandemic and the avocado wasn't "up to standards".

We found this recipe a year or two ago and it has become a favorite in our house. We make it about once a month and every time it turns out great! A fool proof recipe that doesn’t require too much time or skill and tastes fantastic. I like to double the recipe and it is just enough for my husband and I to have dinner and one night of leftovers. We have used both fresh and frozen tilapia. This recipe is one of our favorites! And we think it should have lots of five star reviews - definitely recommend.
