After work today I arrived home to an energetic pup! Sadie always greets me enthusiastically and immediately fetches me a toy that she carries around with her for a good five minutes after we arrive home, and today was no different.
Since Ryan had to stay at work a little later than usual, Sadie and I wasted time by playing fetch in the backyard until he arrived home and we could go for our evening walk.
Sadie has yet to master the art of “drop it.” She will drop the ball when you tell her to, but it’s always a good five feet from where you want it.
She’s a peach!
Once Ryan arrived home, the three of us when on a walk around the lake near our apartment. We discussed this upcoming weekend and decided that this week must pass quickly. Our friends Dru and Carrie are getting married on Saturday and we can’t wait to celebrate with them!
Dinner
Eventually we made it home and were ready for dinner. We were both feeling quite lazy and didn’t feel like putting a ton of effort into our evening meal.
Fish tacos fit the bill perfectly! They’re tasty but not too in depth.
To prepare the fish, I sprayed a baking sheet lined with foil with cooking spray before placing the fish (I used trout) on top, spraying it with cooking spray and rubbing it with reduced sodium taco seasoning.
Once it was all dressed up, I baked it a 400 degrees for about 15 minutes until the fish flaked with a fork.
After dividing the fish among several tortillas and topping it with lettuce and shredded cheese, our tacos were ready!
This whole meal came together in less than 20 minutes and totally satisfied both of us.
Off to hang with my little family. Enjoy your night, friends!

that looks simply enough for me! I’ll have to try

Hey Julie! I bought a Vita-Mix after visiting a local health shop where they offered a smoothie called the Honey Bee — basically, it’s frozen bananas, almond milk, golden flax, and honey. I’ve made many concoctions in my Vita-Mix, but that one is definitely my favorite. 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
Oooh that sounds fantastic!
Laura @ prettylittlewords says
I am going to make that for breakfast tomorrow! 🙂
Carly Stewart says
And a tiny sliver of ginger — almost forgot the best part! It really gives that smoothie some punch, and I’m not normally a big ginger fan. Hope you like it! 🙂
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Easy peasy! 😀 Love meals like that! Enjoy your evening!
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
I love fish tacos — so easy to throw together and they taste great too!
Christine @ Merf In Progress says
Wow. Really? Fish tacos are that easy? Wow.
Kelly says
I have never made fish tacos with anything other than a white fish. Will have to try this next! Have a good night!
Alaina says
I had my first fish tacos last week and they were good! They were made with tilapia and it was just light enough that I was able to enjoy it.
What a cute pup 🙂
Katie says
Sadie is such a gorgeous dog – what breed is she?
peanutbutterfingers says
She’s a vizsla!

Your dinner looks better than the cereal I had for dinner! Trying to use up the milk before vacation 🙂
Melissa says
Those look delicious! I have been a bottomless pit tonight & I feel like I could go for a couple of those NOW!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
Love the fish tacos! So easy and fast. Great work Julie! 🙂
Angela says
I must make this! With Lent in full force and not eating meat on Friday’s I love creative fish recipes! Thanks for sharing:)!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
My pup Charlie has yet to master “drop it” either – we call it “release” though. he’ll do it with some toys, but not others. And if we’re in the yeard, forget it. He just runs away! 🙂
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
great idea! you always remind me that a great, healthy meal doesn’t have to be laborious!
Tara @The Game of Life says
I tried to do a fast meal tonight too, but it didnt go as well as yours!!! Thanks to the boyfriend hahah. These look great!
Maddie says
I had fish tacos for dinner too! I used this recipe last week and we fell in love. It was so simple and quick and SO delicious. My husband and I both managed to be busy until 9pm, so it fit the bill perfectly to quickly get dinner in our bellies! 😀
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
Wishes the hubby ate fish. Oh well, guess I’ll have to make those for myself when he’s not around. 🙂
Emily says
Love the easy dinner 🙂 All dinners should be so good and easy to make! Enjoy your night!
Katy @ A Healthy Shot says
I’ve never had fish tacos, but you make it look pretty easy! I’ll have to give them a try.
Friends’ wedding are so much fun… we have a few this summer and we’re already getting anxious! 😉
Sarah @ The Pajama Chef says

Oooh these DO look super easy! 🙂
Friends’ weddings are SO much fun!!! Enjoy!
candice says

Runeatrepeat says
My dog never lets go of the ball either! I always end up with the grossest drooled up hands when we play…
Laura @ prettylittlewords says
Oooooooh those fish tacos look so tasty! What a great idea. You should mix some hot sauce with fat free Greek yogurt for a spicy, healthier “sour cream.” It really kicks it up a notch! 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
love that idea! thanks, laura!
Gen says
Those tacos are making me crave mexican! 😀
Sadie is soooo cute! I love seeing pictures of her!
Nicole says
Mmm, I love fish tacos!
Shana says
I always love your pictures of Sadie. I can tell she’s a doll… warms up my heart with every photo. <3
Melissa says
Sadie’s spunky personality really shines through in the pics! Why didnnt I think of putting taco seasoning on fish tacos? Duh! I always have to try and make things more complicated than they need to be. Thanks for sharing! They look tasty!
Carrie says
wow!! that looks so fresh and tasty!! and im surprised it only took 20 min!
Annie says
that last picture of sadie is hilarious. she looks so goofy, and it makes her paws look too big for her body/legs, but it’s just perfect! mila hasn’t mastered “fetch”…although she does enjoy playing the game solo. she’ll run to the top of the steps, drop her kong and watch it bounce crazily to the bottom, then fly down the steps after it, grab it, go back to the top, and do it all over again. a-mazing.
peanutbutterfingers says
hahha this literally made me laugh out loud. your dog is a riot!
Hope says
I love tacos! They are such a quick and easy option when you don’t really feel like making dinner. Yours look great!
Liza says
Hey Julie… I’m cracking up at your first paragraph about Sadie because that is EXACTLY what my yellow lab Sydney does when I get home….. finds a toy (usually her stuffed otter or monkey) and enthusiastically trots around with it for a good 5 minutes while I pretend to be really excited for her and repeatedly ask her, “Whatcha got? You got da monkey?!” like a complete idiot. 😉
I wish we lived in Orlando so Sadie and Sydney could meet at the Baldwin Park dog park… they would get along so well.. haha!
peanutbutterfingers says
haha, from the sound of it, i think they’d be beeeest friends.
Stacey says
I love eating fish out but i am always so scared to cook it at home myself. I dont know why. This recipe makes me feel confident to do it myself. I will be trying this soon.
Suz says
Hi Julie! I found your blog this weekend and I love it! I am enjoying a mocha Green Monster for breakfast this morning thanks to your recipe! Keep up the great work!
peanutbutterfingers says
so glad you found me!!! i’m so glad you’re liking the mocha green monster. they’re one of my favs!
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Sadie looks SO happy in these pictures!!!!! And yes, drop it is a command that we’re consistently working on, too! Your upcoming weekend sounds like a BLAST!
Martha Lilian says
What an awesome, easy to make dinner! I am definitely going to have to add this to my weeknight meal line up.
By the way, my puggle Maximus does the same exact thing when we come home, running in circles around the apartment with his favorite chewy in his mouth!
Tabatha Rasmussen says
What breed is your dog!?!
Marlie Parsons says
Sprinkling a trout fillet with taco seasoning and then simply baking it is a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing that. I’m always looking for fast and easy recipes that can be made using heart-healthy ingredients, and your fish tacos truly fit the bill.
