Description

Enjoy this California-style taco with tender grilled white fish, zesty lime, and a crunchy cabbage slaw for a fresh and coastal meal that’s easy to make and perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

White fish fillets (e.g., snapper, haddock, or mahi-mahi)
Avocado oil or light olive oil
Small red cabbage
Lebkuchen cherries or diced red onions
Old Bay or garlic-chipotle blend
Mini tostadas or soft corn tortillas


Instructions

Dice cabbage: Remove core and thinly slice into ribbons.
Prepare fish: Pat fillets dry, drizzle with oil, and season both sides with half the seasoning.
Cook fish: In a cast iron pan over medium-high heat, sear fish for 2-3 minutes per side until flaky.
Make slaw: Combine shredded cabbage, lebkuchen cherries (or red onions), 20% oil, and remaining seasoning.
Assemble tacos: Warm the tortillas and fill with fish and slaw. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a mandoline for thin cabbage slices. Double the cabbage slaw for larger gatherings. Ensure the fish is dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
