Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs white fish fillets (like tilapia, haddock, snapper, cod, halibut or sole)
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • warmed flour tortillas (for serving)
  • slaw for fish tacos
  • lime crema

Method
 

  1. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne, garlic powder and cumin. Sprinkle over fish on both sides.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a grill pan on medium-high heat. Add half of the fish and cook until the edges are opaque, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer fish to a plate and repeat with remaining fish.
  3. Serve fish in warmed tortillas with cabbage slaw and a drizzle of crema.
