Fish Tacos with Limey Slaw & Bang Bang Sauce

Fish Tacos with Limey Slaw & Bang Bang Sauce


  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Fish:

  • 2 lb fresh cod fillets (skinless, if possible)
  • Canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Slaw:

  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • ½ cup chopped scallions
  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  • ⅓ cup mayo
  • ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (I like sambal ooleck)
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • Salt, to taste

To Serve:

  • Flour or corn tortillas
  • Lime wedges
  • Avocado, sliced

Instructions

For the Fish:

  1. Preheat the broiler to high and set the oven rack about 6 inches below.
  2. Place the cod on a baking sheet lined with foil and brush it with the oil.
  3. Mix together the spices and salt in a small bowl and sprinkle over the cod. Press it into the surface to adhere.
  4. Broil the cod for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through and it easily flakes with a fork.
  5. Flake the fish and set aside.

For the Slaw:

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss well to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside.

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

  1. Whisk together all the ingredients and season, to taste, with salt.
  2. Add more chili garlic paste or sugar to meet your tastes.

To Serve:

  1. Toast the tortillas over a gas burner (optional).
  2. Top each tortilla with the cooked fish, the slaw, and sliced avocados. Drizzle with the bang bang sauce and serve with lime wedges alongside.

Notes

I recommend getting everything ready before you broil the fish, as that step happens very quickly and does require attention. I like to prep the slaw and sauce ahead, and while the fish is in the oven, I prep the tortillas and toppings. When the fish is done, dinner is ready!
