Instructions
Make the Slaw
- Toss together the shredded red cabbage, shredded green cabbage, roasted jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, honey and salt in a large bowl. Make sure everything is evenly coated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the Fish Taco Sauce
- Whisk together the mayo, crema, lime juice, hot sauce, garlic and salt in a medium bowl. Refrigerate the cream sauce until ready to use. This is a huge flavor builder. So good.
Make the Fish Tacos
- Remove the skin from the fish and slice the fish into strips. Mix together the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the sliced fish.
- Heat the oil in a pan to medium high heat and add the fish. Cook gently for 5 minutes, turning the fish every minute, until it is cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Serve the pieces of fish onto warmed tortillas, then top with sliced avocado, cabbage slaw and dollops of creamy fish taco sauce, maybe a lime wedge or two on the side. Don't forget the hot sauce!
Notes
Store any extra fish sauce in the fridge in a sealed container. Will last several weeks. This works with any white fish. Some favorites to substitute are red snapper, halibut, grouper, and mahi mahi.
