Ingredients

Slaw

  • 1/2 small red cabbage sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet add olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and whisk all together.
  • Place fish in a large plate and pour the marinade mixture over fish.
  • Refrigerate and let marinate at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill grates with oil and place fish on grill. Grill until cooked through. It is about 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a plate, break into pieces and set aside.
  • In the same grill over medium-high heat, warm the tortillas for about 2 minutes each side. It is better if you add 1 tortilla at a time.

For the red cabbage slaw:

  • In a bowl, add cabbage, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • To construct a taco, break up some of the cooked fish, place it in a warm tortilla, and top it with slaw and any optional garnishes.

Notes

  • Pat dry the fish before adding the marinade so it removes excess moisture. 
  • Avoid moving the fish too much on the grill pan to keep it from falling apart.
  • If you do not have a grill pan, a cast iron or non-stick pan would be fine. 
  • To store: Store the slaw in an airtight container in the fridge. The fish can be stored in a separate container. Eat within 3 days.
  • To reheat: You can reheat the fish in the microwave or enjoy it chilled.
