Steps
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- In a bowl, combine the lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Add the fish to the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated, and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Place the marinated fish in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is cooking, prepare the slaw by mixing the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro in a separate bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a splash of lime juice and season with salt to taste.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
