spiced barramuni tacos with spanish rice & chipotle cream
“Elevate your taco indulgence with our spiced barramuni tacos with spanish rice & chipotle cream. A harmonious fusion of flavors awaits, promising a delightful and savory experience.”
Well, here we are smack dab right in the middle of winter.
Oh, the joy.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy winter. Living in Colorado you truly get to enjoy the outdoors 365 days a year. But after the holidays and before spring break itineraries are set, winter blows. There’s nothing to get gussied up for or celebrate, and you seriously feel like you are living in your down parka. It’s the pits.
However, during these sub zero freezing months, the one thing remains constant: my craving for fresh foods. I realize when I say “fresh” during the winter we’re talking turnips that just fell off the truck. I can get down on some winter veggies, but can I let you in on a little secret?
Pssst, check it.
I was recently introduced to Barramundi; a white fish that is farm-raised in the Southeast Pacific waters. Barramundi is all the rage when it comes to sustainability. They call it the “The Sustainable Sea Bass” because of their Smart Aquaculture methods. The brilliant thing about this meaty yet, buttery flavored fish is that it literally tastes like you caught it right off the New Zealand shore.
Talk about fresh-mcfresh! There are a zillion ways to serve this dish – my favorite being fish tacos. It pairs perfectly with Spanish spices as well as rice. Plus, add a little Chipolte cream on top and you’ll never know that these no-mercury, high-in-protein, mega-load of Omega-3s tacos are good for you!
So where do you get this fab fresh fish? Well, head on down to Trader Joe’s, or if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s you can snatch it up at Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, Safeway, and other retailers! Click on the store locator link to find the nearest place to purchase your barramundi!
Now, where’s the beach?
