Easy Fish Tacos

Ingredients

• 1 pound Cod Fillets (cut into 4 equal pieces, mild white fish)
• 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (neutral‑flavored oil for marinating)
• 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (freshly squeezed from about 2 limes)
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder (mild heat, optional chipotle or cayenne for extra spice)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Sour Cream (can substitute Greek yogurt for a tangier, protein‑rich sauce)
• 0.5 medium Ripe Avocado (peeled, pitted and diced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro (chopped; optional – can use parsley instead)
• 1 teaspoon Olive Oil (optional, to thin the sauce if needed)
• 8 Flour Tortillas (6‑inch size, warmed before serving)
• 1 cup Red Cabbage (shredded)
• 1 cup Green Cabbage (shredded)

Instructions

1. Make the Marinade

   In a mixing bowl combine avocado oil, fresh lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk quickly until smooth.

   Time: PT5M

2. Marinate the Cod

   Add the cod fillets to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor).

   Time: PT15M

3. Preheat the Oven

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 375°F

4. Bake the Fish

   Arrange the marinated cod fillets on the prepared sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 375°F

5. Broil for Extra Crisp

   Switch the oven to broil and cook the fillets an additional 2 minutes, watching closely so the edges turn golden and crisp.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Broil

6. Blend the Lime Avocado Crema

   While the fish cooks, combine sour cream, diced avocado, extra lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in the food processor. Blend until smooth; add a teaspoon of oil if the mixture is too thick.

   Time: PT5M

7. Prepare the Cabbage Slaw

   Shred red and green cabbage (or use pre‑shredded mix) and place in a bowl. Optional: toss with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt.

   Time: PT5M

8. Warm the Tortillas

   Wrap the flour tortillas in foil and place on a second rack of the oven for about 5 minutes, or until warm and pliable.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

9. Assemble the Tacos

   Place 2–3 pieces of baked cod on each warm tortilla, top with cabbage slaw, and drizzle generously with the lime avocado crema.

   Time: PT5M
