Fish Tacos Coleslaw Recipes

Steps:

• Bake fish fillets according to package directions.
• Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven to heat.
• Or heat them at the last minute in a microwave in plastic wrap.
• Shred or chop the cabbage.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage with all the remaining ingredients.
• Cut each hot fish fillet into 6-8 pieces, then pile into a hot tortilla with lots of slaw.

Steps:

• Combine the cabbage, scallion, and jalapeno, if using, in a medium bowl.
• Cut the fish into strips. Combine the fish with the lime zest and juice, pimenton, garlic, oil and salt, to taste, in a medium bowl. This can be done a day ahead, covered and refrigerated.
• In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, honey and oil. Add to the cabbage mixture and toss until well dressed. Season with salt, to taste. If using within a couple of hours let it sit at room temperature, if making this ahead, refrigerate until ready to use.
• To cook and assemble:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap the tortillas in foil.
• Put the fish strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the fish and tortillas in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the fish is in the oven, taste the cabbage for seasoning and adjust, if needed.
• Remove the fish and tortillas from the oven. Put some fish in the center of a tortilla, top with a couple of avocado slices and finish with some of the cabbage slaw. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve.

Steps:

• Add buttermilk, jalapeno, smoked paprika, 1/2 the lime juice, salt, and pepper to a large resealable zip top bag. Add the halibut and let marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Once hot, brush the grill grate with some olive oil. Remove the fish from the marinade and grill the fish 4 minutes per side, about 8 minutes total. Remove to a plate and break the fish into chunks. Sprinkle with lime juice and a touch more salt.
• Grill corn tortillas until warm and soft and they have a few charred marks.
• To assemble the tacos, place a nice spoonful of the fish onto the center of a warmed tortilla. Top with the Cabbage Slaw. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro leaves.
• Using a large holed grater attachment for a food processor, shred the cabbage and red onion. Add to a large serving bowl with the chopped cilantro.
• Mix the sour cream, chipotle, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
• Add the dressing to the grated cabbage. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours before serving

Steps:

• Toss the slaw mix, red onion, lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; set aside.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Oil the grates. Mix the cayenne with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; rub all over the fish. Grill until well marked on the bottom and the fish releases easily from the grill, about 6 minutes. Flip and grill until cooked through, 4 to 6 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice or flake the fish.
• Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm on the grill, about 4 minutes.
• Divide the fish among the warm tortillas. Top with the slaw, cilantro, crema and salsa verde. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• For the cilantro lime sour cream: Combine the sour cream, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the red cabbage slaw: Combine the lime juice, cabbage, onion, oil, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and massage for 2 minutes to soften the cabbage and distribute all ingredients evenly.
• For the fish: Mix the cayenne, cumin and paprika with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper in a dish and sprinkle all over the fish. Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in another shallow dish, then put the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
• Coat the fish all over in the flour and then the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a thin layer (about 1/4 cup) of oil. Fry the fish until golden and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into strips.
• To serve: Fill paper bags with chips (or open small bags of store-bought ones) and crush them coarsely. Top with a big plop of cilantro-lime sour cream, some fish, a squeeze of lime, slaw, avocado, jalapeños and a pile of fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix the marinade ingredients together in a blender. Except the fish, as we're not making cat food.
• Pour the marinade into a big zip top bag with the fish and let it sit for about 30 minutes at the most.
• In a food processor, combine all of the slaw ingredients except the cabbage. Spin it up until you have a smoothish dressing.
• Pour the slaw dressing over the cabbage and toss to combine. Let it chill in the fridge until dinner is ready. Normally I would make any coleslaw a day ahead of time, but for this, I still want a good crunch to the cabbage.
• Mix the Masa, the salt and 1 cup of the water in a bowl by hand.
• Only add enough of the remaining water tot he dough so it is workable enough to form a golf ball sized ball that can be flattened out without it crumbling apart.
• Divide the dough into 16 equally sized balls.
• Break out your tortilla press and flatten each dough ball into a small round. Or if you're like me, break out the tortilla press, then break the press after the third tortilla and resort to parchment paper, a heavy pan with a smooth bottom and a rolling pin.
• Cook the tortillas on a med-high hot dry pan or an electric griddle for about 1 minute per side. You'll have to eyeball the time depending on how hot your "med-high" is.
• I followed Alton Browns tip on keeping my tortillas hot and ready by wrapping them in a tea towel sitting on a heating pad. Yes, I am that much of a geek that I have a heating pad in the kitchen.
• Get a large non stick pan heated over medium ready with half the oil.
• Place your fish in the pan, careful not to crowd the pan, and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. This is really up to you and how "done" you like your fish and also the type and thickness of the fish you're cooking. I look for just opaque in the center.
• Extract the first batch and cover with foil while the second batch cooks.
• I like the two tortilla shingle method myself with the fish on the bottom and the slaw on top. You can throw some diced tomatoes on top or maybe a squeeze of lime if you think it's necessary. I like to keep it simple.

Steps:

• Finely chop cabbage, then cut into short strips. Place in a bowl with garlic, chili powder, salt, and cumin; mix to combine. Mix in mayonnaise and Sriracha. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
• Add onion, carrot, and cilantro; mix to combine. Taste and add more lemon juice if desired. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving so flavors have time to blend.

Steps:

• Quarter and thinly slice the cabbage; put in a large bowl. Mix sour cream, onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, garlic, and salt in a separate bowl. Pour sour cream mixture over the cabbage and toss to combine. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Place fish in the bowl and evenly coat with marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• While the fish is marinating, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Sprinkle fish with remaining salt and pepper. Place on the preheated grill and cook until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Divide fish among tortillas and top with coleslaw, avocados, tomatoes, and cilantro.

Steps:

• In small bowl combine lime juice, olive oil, sugar.
• Combine green onions, cilantro and coleslaw mix in a large bowl.
• Drizzle juice mixture over coleslaw mixture; toss well to coat.
• Chill for an hour, stir, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro and 2 tablespoons seasoning mix in small bowl.
• Combine fish, vegetable oil, lemon juice and remaining seasoning mix in medium bowl; pour into large skillet.
• Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until cod flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• Fill taco shells with fish mixture.
• Top with toppings.

Steps:

• Tartar Sauce:.
• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate until time to serve.
• Slaw:.
• Mix the lemon juice, olive oil and sugar in a large bowl. Place the rest of the ingredients and toss. Cover with plastic wrap place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Fish:.
• prepare fish by cutting into 1x3" strips. If using frozen fish (I use cod from Trader Joes) after thawing place fish strips on a clean dish towel and gently squeeze any extra water out.
• Coating:.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking powder together. Add the club soda and Tabasco sauce. This will be a thick batter.
• In another bowl place the panko bread crumbs.
• Heat vegetable oil to 375 degree (I use a thermometer).
• Dredge the fish in the wet batter then place in Panko bread crumbs gently pressing to make sure the crumbs adhere. Gently place the fish strips into the 375 degree oil. Fry half the fish on both sides until golden, turning once, about 5-6 minutes total. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in 200 degree oven.
• Fry each tortilla by heating a sauté pan and spraying each side of the tortilla with vegetable oil spray.
• Assemble tacos with slaw, fish and top with tartar sauce.

Steps:

• Mix coleslaw mix, cilantro, yogurt, peppers, vinegar, adobo sauce, and salt for slaw together and set aside in the refrigerator.
• Cut fillets into 2-ounce portions. Season fish with 1 teaspoon salt, dried cilantro, cumin, and oregano. Allow to rest while combining flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, and cayenne in a shallow dish.
• Dip each fillet in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Set aside for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 inch of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry fish in the hot oil until golden and it flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
• To assemble, top a tortilla with one fillet, 1/4 cup slaw, and slices of avocado and tomato if desired.

Steps:

• Place cabbage in a large bowl with cilantro, onion, and jalapeno; toss to mix.
• Mix oil, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and sugar together in a small bowl. Pour over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Let sit on the counter for 1 to 2 hours, then drain. Serve at room temperature.
