INGREDIENTS

For the Fish:

  • 1 ½ pounds cod, halibut, tilapia, or mahi-mahi (or any mild white fish)

  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Fish Taco Sauce:

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or 5 tablespoons sour cream plus 3 tablespoons mayonnaise)

  • 1 ½ tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼-½ teaspoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

  • Pinch of salt

  • Water (as needed to thin the sauce)

For Serving:

  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas

  • ½ small red cabbage, shredded

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Fish:

  • Pat the fish dry with paper towels.

  • In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

  • Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of the fish, pressing it gently onto the fish.

  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  • Add the seasoned fish to the pan and cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, which takes about 4-7 minutes per side. Turn off the heat.

Make the Fish Taco Sauce:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, sriracha sauce, and salt.

  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little water, adding a teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Set aside.

Warm the Tortillas:

  • (Optional) Warm and slightly crisp the tortillas one at a time in a hot skillet on the stove. Alternatively, you can warm all the tortillas at once in the microwave.

Assemble the Tacos:

  • To serve, fill each tortilla with shredded cabbage, cooked fish, avocado slices, a drizzle of fish taco sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

  • Serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
