Many fish tacos you get at restaurants are deep-fried–but not this version. Simple seasonings of cumin and cayenne give the fish a savory heat, and the lime juice and coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) finish the Mexican dish with freshness and just a little crunch. If you like, you can substitute jicama for the coleslaw mix.

Fish Tacos Recipe

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 1 pound white fish, such as bass or cod
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 1/4–1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (depending on your spice preference)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 6 small whole-wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix, undressed
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • salsa

Directions

Place fish in a nonstick skillet, and sprinkle evenly with cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily. Turn off heat. Flake fish into chunks with a spatula or wooden spoon, and sprinkle with lime juice. Divide fish among tortillas and top with coleslaw and cilantro. Serve with salsa.
