Ingredients

  • White fish fillet (such as tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
  • Fresh ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon
  • Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic, minced - 1 clove
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 small
  • Cabbage, finely shredded - 1 cup
  • Carrot, grated - 1/2 medium
  • Cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
  • Lime wedges - for serving
  • Sour cream or yogurt (optional) - for serving

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix the grated ginger, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
  3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro in a separate bowl.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and flaky.
  5. Remove the fish from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing some fish on each tortilla and topping it with the slaw. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream or yogurt if desired.
