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

Steps
- In a bowl, mix the grated ginger, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
- While the fish is marinating, prepare the slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro in a separate bowl.
- 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.
- Remove the fish from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- 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.
