COD FISH TACOS



Cod Fish Tacos image

Let your oven do the work for these quick and simple cod fish tacos. Broiling the cod allows the fish to stay moist and flake easily once finished. Hot sauce adds a punch of acidity and mild heat, while sour cream makes a creamy slaw that adds crunch to the taco.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lime
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
¼ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ground cumin, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
2 (8 ounce) cod fillets (about 1-inch thick)
1 tablespoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon chili powder
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler to high, with oven rack positioned 6 inches from heat. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut lime in half crosswise. Juice 1 lime half into a medium bowl and cut the remaining lime half into wedges for garnish. Add cabbage, cilantro, sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl with the lime juice and use your hands to mix and gently massage the cabbage until evenly combined. Set aside.
  • Thoroughly pat fish dry with paper towels and place on the prepared baking sheet. Coat evenly with hot sauce and season all over with chili powder and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Broil until the fish is lightly charred and cooked through and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 145°F, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven and flake with a fork.
  • Divide the fish and the cabbage slaw evenly among tortillas; sprinkle with additional cilantro and drizzle with additional hot sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Select the Freshest Cod: Opt for cod that has a mild, slightly sweet aroma and firm, white flesh. Avoid fish with a fishy smell or dull eyes.
  • Proper Thawing: If using frozen cod, thaw it properly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes.
  • Seasoning Perfection: Enhance the cod's flavor by seasoning it with a blend of paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Alternatively, use a store-bought fish seasoning mix.
  • Crispy Coating: To achieve a crispy outer layer, coat the cod in a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh herbs. Press the coating firmly onto the fish.
  • Adequate Cooking: Bake the cod at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Homemade Taco Sauce: Elevate your tacos with a homemade sauce made from a blend of mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and your preferred level of spice.
  • Fresh Toppings: Complete your tacos with a variety of fresh toppings such as shredded cabbage, thinly sliced radishes, diced tomatoes, and creamy avocado slices.
