Ingredients
For the fish
- 1 pound tilapia or cod* (wild caught preferable)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon each cumin and smoked paprika (or standard paprika)
- ½ teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, for seasoning
For the tacos
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Thaw the fish, if necessary.
- Make the fish: In a small
bowl, mix together the dry rub: chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika,
garlic powder, and onion powder. Pat the fish dry, then sprinkle it with
1 teaspoon kosher salt
and pat it in. Add the seasoning and pat it to cover the fish. Place
the fish on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, until
tender. Then broil for 2 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
- Make the slaw: Meanwhile, thinly slice the cabbage. Shred or grate the carrot (we used a handheld julienne peeler). Thinly slice the green onion.
Place the cabbage, carrots and green onion in a bowl. Stir in the lime
juice, salt and celery salt. Serve immediately with a slotted spoon. The
slaw picks up moisture as it sits; if you plan to let it sit, make sure
to serve with the slotted spoon to strain out the moisture.
- Make the sauce: Make the Fish Taco Sauce.
- Warm the tortillas: If
desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on
medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are
slightly blackened and warm. Or warm them according to How to Warm Tortillas.
- Assemble the tacos by topping the tortillas with fish, slaw, and sauce. Top with chopped cilantro and a spritz of lime.
