This recipe is healthy too – because instead of using bread crumbs or flour, which are higher in calories, I am using oats, which a slightly healthier option that looks good, tastes great, and adds that perfect crunch to a soft, flaky piece of fish.
I made them for dinner last night and they disappeared in minutes. I love days when we are doing something as chilled out as tacos for dinner. They make dinner so fuss – free and so much fun. Tuesday night felt like Friday night with tacos and beer!

Richa’s Top Tips To Make The Best Healthy Oats Fish Tacos
- You can easily make a vegetarian version of these healthy tacos by replacing the fish with either paneer, tofu, or even cauliflower.
- Keep an eye out for how long you cook the fish and keep checking for doneness. White flesh fish tend to cook very quickly and are very easy to overcook.

- Cut fish fillets into bite sized pieces and place them in a plate. Whisk together the egg and salt in a separate bowl. In another plate, empty content of the flavored saffola instant oat packets. Now you’ll have three dishes in front of you – one with fish, one with egg and one with oats.
