Born-Again Fish Tacos

If you don’t want to deep fry your fish for tacos, try this resurrected version.

  • Dressing: 1/4 c mayonnaise, 1/4 c sour cream (or crema), 2 T lime juice, 1 tsp sriracha, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt to taste
  • 3 T butter, melted
  • 1/4 c lime juice, divided
  • 1 tsp chili powder, such as Gebhardt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (smoked paprika is nice)
  • 1/2 tsp Diamond kosher salt
  • 10-16 oz white fish filet such as cod, snapper, flounder, halibut or grouper
  • small corn tortillas for serving
  • red and/or green cabbage, red onion, and cilantro for topping
  • wedges of limes for serving

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Make the dressing.

Shred the cabbage and finely chop the onion and cilantro; combine them for the taco topping

Mix together butter, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika and salt in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the fish and place the fish in a small baking pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or just until the fish flakes.

Remove the fish from the oven and break the fish into chunks, using 2 forks. Stir in any sauce still in the pan.

Warm the tortillas over an open flame on a gas stove or on a hot, dry skillet. Flip them once, so that both sides have browned bits. Keep the warmed tortillas in aluminum foil.

Serve by topping the tortillas with a little dressing, then a little fish, and then the cabbage mix. Gently fold the tortilla in half; then eat and enjoy.
