Steps
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, soy sauce, and lime juice to create a marinade.
- Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
- While the fish marinates, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions in a bowl. 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 until cooked through and flaky.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft.
- To assemble the tacos, place a few pieces of cooked fish onto each tortilla, top with the prepared slaw, and add slices of avocado.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
