Additional Items

  • Sliced avocado
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Make the slaw by mixing all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes but no more than 8 hours. Taste and adjust seasoning (more salt if necessary).
  2. While the slaw is marinating, make the Baja cream sauce and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours. I put mine in a squeeze bottle (with a slightly larger opening).
  3. When you’re ready to eat, get your fish out. Heat oil in a large grill pan or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the fish dry and sprinkle both sides of the fish with cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place fish in hot oil (don’t crowd the pan do 2 batches if necessary) and cook for a couple of minutes. The edges will begin to turn white and the fish will move easily when it’s time to flip. *note the cooking time will vary based on how thick your fish is. Cook on the other side about 3 minutes. When the fish begins to flake easily remove them from the pan and place on a plate.
  5. To assemble place a warm tortilla on a plate. Place a few small slices of avocado on top. Next put a few heaping tablespoons of the fish taco slaw. On top of that gently place 4 ounces of fish. To finish it off squirt on some of the Baja cream sauce and a few pinches of chopped cilantro.

Notes

This will make more than enough Baja sauce so save it and use it on other dishes!
