Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound Alaskan cod
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3–4 teaspoons olive oil
Toppings:
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 cup thinly sliced cabbage
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Limes for serving (optional)
- Avocado (optional)
- Cilantro (optional)
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Juice of one lime
- 2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic paste
Instructions
- Preheat and Season Fish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine cumin, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and Old Bay. Drizzle your fish with olive oil and sprinkle seasoning on both sides; gently rub in the oil and spices. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Prep Toppings and Tortillas: While the fish is baking, prep your toppings and tortillas. Heat your tortillas on a skillet with olive oil, 2-3 minutes on each side on medium-high heat. Thinly shred or slice your cabbage and place it in a small bowl, combining it with lime juice.
- Make Sauce: To make your sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and place in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
- Assemble Tacos: Once the fish is done, flake with a fork into smaller pieces. Place a few pieces on a tortilla, top with cabbage, red onion, tomato, cilantro, and sauce.
Notes
- Fish: When done, the fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. If you have an instant-read thermometer, it should register 145°F in the thickest part of the fillet.
- Tortillas: You can warm the tortillas in the microwave, oven, or on a griddle.
- Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite taco toppings.
- Storage: Store any leftover fish, toppings, and sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge. The fish and sauce will keep for up to 3 days.
