These Healthy Fish Tacos Are Easy to Make and Loaded With Protein

by News7

CHEF DAN CHURCHILL was only supposed to be cook at The Osprey in Brooklyn for a few months last year. He was busy with other stuff, after all: building recipes for Chris Hemsworth’s Centr app, writing cookbooks, his podcast.

But then people loved his Aussie-inspired food (prawn toast, lamb ribs) so much The Osprey’s owners asked him to stick around permanently. He agreed, largely because a lifetime dedicated to health and fitness had prepped him for big changes. “Eating well and working out, keep me physically strong and able to take on new challenges with a greater sense of perspective,” Churchill says. For fitness, that’s been surfing, rugby, HIIT, and marathon training. 

For food, that’s always been fresh, high-protein meals that are easy to pull off. Like these Lightning-Quick Fish Tacos with Super Slaw, which taste especially awesome after any workout.

Its from his latest cookbook, Eat Like a Legend, out now.
