Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Red chili flakes - 1 teaspoon
  • Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Cilantro - 30 grams, chopped
  • Green onions - 2, sliced
  • Cabbage - 100 grams, finely shredded
  • Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
  • Avocado - 1, sliced
  • Salt - to taste

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, soy sauce, and lime juice to create a marinade.
  2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. While the fish marinates, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions in a bowl. Set aside.
  4. 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.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft.
  6. To assemble the tacos, place a few pieces of cooked fish onto each tortilla, top with the prepared slaw, and add slices of avocado.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
