Here’s what you need:
 
Corn slaw:
  • ¼ cup mayo
  •  Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage (or mixed slaw cabbage)
  • 1 cup corn (drained)
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped (optional)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
In a large bowl add cabbage, corn, cilantro, jalapenos (if using), and lime juice. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and honey.
 
Pour over cabbage and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
 
Marinade for Fish:
  • 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 ½ lbs. cod (or other flaky white fish)
Add the oil and all seasonings to a large shallow bowl and mix to combine. Add the fish and turn to coat all sides well. Marinate for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
 
Cooking the fish:
 
Heat about a Tbsp. of oil in a skillet over medium/high heat.
 
Remove cod from marinade and season both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Arrange fish in skillet. Cook, turning once, until opaque and cooked through, 3-5 minutes on each side. Let rest for 5 minutes before flaking with a fork.
 
You can use flour or corn tortillas with this. When the fish has rested, top your tortilla with fish, corn slaw, and avocado. Squeeze a little fresh lime juice over and drizzle with sour cream. Enjoy!
