Vegan Fish Tacos with Peach Salsa

Vegan fish tacos with peach salsa is the perfect dinner
For when you have a ton of ripe peaches and are feeling particularly too lazy to cook.

Vegan Fish Tacos with Peach Salsa | The Viet Vegan

If you’ve been here for a while, you know that I like to look back on my past habits to analyze, see what patterns there are and see how I can improve myself. I’ve been struggling with a lot of eczema and anxiety/stress-related things lately and I’ve had to really think hard at my current lifestyle and assess if I’m doing what’s actually good for my body.

Vegan food aside—I definitely consume a lot more processed food than I should. During my 6-8 week period of the worst of my eczema, I could barely handle cooking, let alone washing dishes or cutting wet, washed produce. I felt incapable and helpless at the very skills with which I find my self-worth. Cooking good, delicious food in my safe place was no longer much of a possibility when I could barely move my hands. So I ate a lot of vegan boxed mac and cheese and ramen. Trying to supplement with as many greens and other veggies as I could throw in painlessly, but even that was quite the feat.

I’ve been making an effort to drink more water, actually take the turmeric pills my mom has been pestering me to take daily, eating less processed food (although I do realize that the vegan fish in this recipe is processed), reducing the amount of oil and foods I’m sensitive to so I can give my immune system somewhat of a break. There have been a lot of stressful elements in my life so far and I’ve been doing my best to tame them without having them overwhelm me into a fit of stress-scratching.

Crawford Lake

After endless days of staring at blue screens and endless clicking and typing, this past weekend I dragged Eddie out of the apartment to go on a hike to Crawford Lake. I forgot how satisfying it is to trek between the tree roots and hear the sound of leaves rustling in the woods. The water was calm, the sun was kind, the lack of honking horns and sirens was wonderful.

We forget sometimes, that we need to rejuvenate with the gentle energy of nature. It reconnects us and reminds us that we are not naturally supposed to sit at a desk all day.

But alas, bills need to be paid. Work needs to get done, and the clicking and sitting resumes. But the quiet call of the trees pulls me back and I crave the feeling of twigs giving beneath my feet and the earthy smell of forest again. This time I won’t wait for the stress scratching and anxiety to push me back into the woods. I’ll try to be more preventative, and less reactive.

In the meantime, when you’re busy and you have a pair of ripe peaches that need to be eaten, make this peach salsa. I’ve used it on avocado toast and a burger so far and both were delicious. But it’s an incredibly easy way to brighten up tacos or a grain bowl with peachy sunshine.

Ingredients

For the salsa:

  • 2 peaches, washed and diced
  • 1 sprig of cilantro, stems removed
  • 1 shallot, finely minced
  • 2-3 tsp of lime juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (optional, you can just replace with salt or salt to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper powder (optional, but so so necessary at the same time)

For the tacos

  • 4 tortillas, heated as desired (I usually flick some water on each tortilla and then microwave for about 20 seconds)
  • 2 cups baby spinach or greens of your choice
  • 2 Gardein fishless filets, cooked and sliced
  • Extra lime for garnish

Instructions

  1. To make the salsa, combine diced peaches, chopped cilantro, shallot, lime juice, olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, 1/4 tsp salt and cayenne pepper powder. Stir to combine and taste. Adjust salt levels as desired.
  2. Assemble the tacos by layering spinach and sliced fishless filets. Squeeze some lime on top of the fish for extra flavour. Add a generous amount of peach salsa on top, and enjoy!

    I have struggled with psoriasis all my life. Since I went vegan and started eating clean, unprocessed, fatty foods it has healed up tremendously!

My latest YouTube video with my recipe for EZ PZ sourdough bread is live. No need to wait for a levain, no autolyze, and no super wet, sticky dough or gummy bread!
🍞
I've been thoroughly enjoying all this bread and how consistently delicious it has been! Please go give it a watch to hear me wax and wane about bread, or check out the blog post for a video with no talking, only bread 😂

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!
🍪
Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!
🍪
Video is up on the channel, and recipe is on the blog🥰https://bit.ly/2LilQk3#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #sourdoughdiscard #sourdough #🍪

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
🍕
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
🍕
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity 😂❣️😭Today I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phở because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend ☺️Instant Pot Phở: http://bit.ly/2DdKATA#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganpho #vietvegan #vietnamesefood

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
🍂
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
🍂
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
🍂
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
🍂
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.
🍂
Also fyi this is an Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew I shared last week. On YouTube and the blog! https://bit.ly/3nCsQWm

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
💚
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles 😂
💚
Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long 😅)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog 🍱🌳🍂 some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
🍁
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
🍁
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
🍂
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets 🙃), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
🍁
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike 😁#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat

I've been eating this nearly every day for the past four days 😂 bánh hỏi thịt nướng chay! I've been meaning to develop a nem nướng chay recipe to go along with this but this week was not the week haha.
🥗
Did anyone else grow up eating platters upon platters of bánh hỏi at long weekend parties and family gatherings? I swear these take up less space in my body than actual noodles because I can always eat an alarming amount 😂
🥗
Check out the new video on YT and the recipe on my blog, swipe up links in my stories!
