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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked fish on each tortilla, topping with the cabbage slaw, and adding slices of avocado.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges and cilantro if desired.
