Fish Taco w/Orange Slaw
Jan 13, 2025Here's what you need:
- 10-12 oz. fish of your choice
- avocado oil for frying fish (about 1/4 cup or so)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup corn meal
- Extra virgin olive oil
- about 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning of your choice, divided
- 1/2 medium purple cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup julienned or shredded carrots
- 3 - 4 green onions, chopped
- juice from 1 large orange, about 1/3 - 1/2 cup
- 3/4 cup mayo
- salt to taste
- tortilla shells of choice or hard taco shells
- toppings like, avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, etc.
Cut up your fish into chunks (or you can leave the filet whole) and add to a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle about 2 tsp. of taco seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside. Add your corn meal and all-purpose flour to a bowl. Mix them together and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, orange juice, 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning, mayo and a sprinkle of salt. Mix well to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Set aside.
Heat your avocado oil in a skillet over med-high heat. Coat your fish in the cornmeal/flour mixture. Fry the fish until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Don't worry if it falls apart a little...it will be fine!
Assemble your tacos with the slaw, fish, and toppings of choice. Enjoy!
