Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 2 cups Cabbage (green or red, finely shredded)
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 pieces Lime
- 1 piece Avocado (sliced or mashed)
- 0.5 cups Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional, for slaw dressing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set up a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat.
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the fish fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the fillets.
Bake the fish on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes or cook in the skillet, flipping halfway, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, prepare the cabbage slaw. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, juice of 1 lime, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, and hot sauce (optional). Mix until well-coated and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in the oven, on a skillet, or directly over a gas flame for 10-15 seconds each until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing pieces of cooked fish in each tortilla. Top with a generous portion of cabbage slaw and slices of avocado.
Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges for a fresh citrus kick.
