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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set up a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the fish fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the fillets.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas in the oven, on a skillet, or directly over a gas flame for 10-15 seconds each until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing pieces of cooked fish in each tortilla. Top with a generous portion of cabbage slaw and slices of avocado.

Step 8

Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges for a fresh citrus kick.
