- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil

For the chipotle crema

Ingredient noteStore-bought mayonnaise and mayo-based sauces are made with pasteurized eggs, so they are generally fine during pregnancy.

Instructions

Make the slaw: combine the shredded cabbage, scallion green tops, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the lime juice and garlic-infused oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, and toss until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the fish and crema.
