Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for marinating)
- Juice of 1 lime (for marinating)
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped (for marinating)
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning (for marinating)
- 1.5 lb firm white fish fillet (such as cod or mahi mahi)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (for slaw)
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for slaw)
- 1 tbsp honey (for slaw)
- Zest and juice from 1 lime (for slaw)
- 1/2 tsp salt (for slaw)
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper (for slaw)
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin (for slaw)
- 3 cups shredded white cabbage (for slaw)
- 1 shredded carrot (for slaw)
- 8 white corn tortillas (for assembling)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for assembling)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (to brush grill grates)
Instructions
- Marinate the fish by whisking together 1 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lime, garlic, and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Add fish fillets, toss to coat, cover, and let marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Prepare the cabbage slaw by whisking together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), honey, lime zest and juice, salt, pepper, and ground cumin in a separate bowl. Add shredded cabbage and carrot, toss to coat, and let sit for a few minutes.
- Warm the corn tortillas on a preheated grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Grill the marinated fish over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes per side until cooked through, then flake into large pieces.
- Assemble the tacos by placing coleslaw on each tortilla, topping with flaked grilled fish, and finishing with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Fish can be any firm white fillet like cod or mahi mahi.
- Letting the slaw sit for a few minutes helps flavors meld and softens the cabbage slightly.
- Squeezing fresh lime over the warm fish enhances the flavor.
