Ingredients
- White fish fillets (like cod or tilapia) - 250 grams
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
- Cumin - 1 teaspoon
- Paprika - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
- Corn tortillas - 4 small
- Green cabbage - 1 cup, thinly sliced
- Carrot - 1 medium, grated
- Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
- Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
- Honey - 1 teaspoon
- Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
Steps
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate the fish fillets in this mixture for at least 10 minutes.
- While the fish is marinating, prepare the cabbage slaw by combining sliced cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a large bowl. Toss to mix and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked fish on each tortilla, topping with the cabbage slaw, and adding slices of avocado.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges and cilantro if desired.
