I don’t post a lot about fish, even though I do like it, especially seafood. Now that I think about it, we have it more often than I realized, mainly in these fish tacos.
The Tilapia is pre-cooked for this recipe, so whenever you have leftover fish, these are a fun option.
How can I make these Tilapia patties gluten, egg, and dairy-free?
- Replace the regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Use a vegan mayonnaise like Hellmann’s Vegan Mayonnaise.
To make this Low FODMAP, use only the tops of the green onions.
