Green Fish Tacos Recipe

 A healthier twist on standard fish taco, these tacos are packed full of sautéed spinach and zucchini.

These were a big hit and fed a crowd with just a small amount of fish that was living in my freezer.  Feel free to use whatever fish you might have on hand.  I used the last ½ pound of shrimp in my freezer along with one portion of salmon that I had in the freezer.
