    Not sure if anyone posted this yet (my computer is being very wonky - need a new router) but cabbage salad as a topping for fish tacos -
    http://www.chow.com/recipes/29193-basic-fish-tacos
    INGREDIENTS
    1 pound firm white fish, such as tilapia, snapper, cod, mahi mahi, or catfish
    2 medium limes, halved
    1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
    Kosher salt
    Freshly ground black pepper

    Cabbage Slaw
    1/2 small head of green or red cabbage (about 14 ounces), cored and thinly sliced
    1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
    Lime juice and some oil

    6 to 8 soft (6-inch) corn tortillas
    Sliced avocado, for garnish (optional)
    Guacamole, for garnish (optional)
    Salsa, for garnish (optional)
    Sour cream, for garnish (optional)
    Hot sauce, for garnish (optional)
    INSTRUCTIONS
    Place the fish in a baking dish and squeeze a lime half over it. Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt and pepper and turn the fish in the marinade until evenly coated. Refrigerate and let marinate at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the slaw and warm the tortillas.
    Combine the cabbage, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl and squeeze a lime half over it. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary; set aside.
    Warm the tortillas by heating a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla at a time, flipping to warm both sides, about 5 minutes total. Wrap the warm tortillas in a clean dishcloth and set aside while you prepare the fish.
    Brush the grates of a grill pan or outdoor grill with oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Remove the fish from the marinade and place on the grill.
    Cook without moving until the underside of the fish has grill marks and is white and opaque on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill the other side until white and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes more. (It’s OK if it breaks apart while you’re flipping.) Transfer the fish to a plate.
    Taste the slaw again and season as needed with more lime juice. Slice the remaining lime halves into wedges and serve with the tacos. To construct a taco, break up some of the cooked fish, place it in a warm tortilla, and top it with slaw and any optional garnishes.

    Another slaw option - could use fat free sour cream:
    Cabbage Slaw:
    1/2 small head green cabbage, cored
    1/4 red onion
    3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1 chipotle, packed in adobo, finely chopped
    Juice of 1/2 lime
    1 tablespoon honey
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Made the first fish taco recipe for my brother - a very picky eater - he loved them.

    Jose's Chimichurri Burgers--half a head of cabbage is sauteed with whole onion in 1 Tbsp oil and used as a topping on the burgers! I used ground turkey for the burgers--still yummy. I made my own lite aioli rather than the one in the recipe. Very tasty burgers with sauteed cabbage and onion! I made 12 tiny burgers to put on 100 calorie slider buns. Still delicious!
