Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
Warm corn tortillas filled with chili-cumin pan-seared cod, crisp lime-dressed cabbage slaw, and sliced avocado.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Finely shred the cabbage, grate the carrot, and chop the cilantro. Toss them in a bowl with the mayonnaise, 2 tbsp (30 ml) lime juice, and ½ tsp (3 gr) salt; set the slaw aside for 10 minutes.
-
Step 2
Pat the cod dry and place it on a plate. Coat it with the vegetable oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, ½ tsp (3 gr) salt, and black pepper.
-
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the seasoned cod for 3–4 minutes per side, until opaque, easily flaked, and 63°C at the thickest point; transfer it to a clean plate and break it into large pieces.
-
Step 4
Wipe out the skillet and warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side, working in batches.
-
Step 5
Slice the avocado. Divide the cooked fish, cabbage slaw, and avocado among the warm tortillas, then serve immediately.
