A recipe for flavorful cod fish tacos topped with a crisp, bright cabbage slaw.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb cod fillets, cut into 1-inch wide strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • For the Crunchy Slaw:
  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • For the Slaw Dressing:
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slaw dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the slaw vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Season the cod: In a separate bowl, toss the cod strips with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Cook the cod: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned cod strips in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Warm the tortillas: Heat tortillas according to package directions, either in a dry skillet or wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave.
  6. Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of the cooked cod onto each warm tortilla. Top generously with the crunchy slaw mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can bake the cod at 400°F for 12-15 minutes instead of pan-frying.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the finished tacos.
  • If you prefer a spicier slaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
