What really makes this dish taste special is the sweet and spicy salsa. And it's healthy: The Halibut adds heart-healthy omega-3 fats, while Watermelon contains Lycopene, a Carotenoid Antioxidant reputed to have anticancer properties. The Cabbage, Bell Pepper, Onion, and Avocado add Fiber, Vitamins, and Minerals, rounding out this simple yet wonderful Taco meal.
