Best 4 Fish Taco Slaw Sauce Recipes

EASY FISH TACOS WITH SLAW

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.

FISH TACOS WITH SMOKY SLAW

Steps:

• In a large nonreactive bowl, add the yogurt, adobo sauce, lime zest, juice, cilantro and season well with salt and pepper. Toss in the cabbage and onions and toss well to combine. Taste again for seasoning.
• To compose the taco, lay a couple of pieces of fish in the center of each tortilla. Pile the coleslaw on top of the fish and fold the edges of the tortilla inwards.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and spray with canola oil.
• In a shallow pie plate or dish, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika and 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, stirring well to combine. Add the beaten egg whites to another pie plate or dish and then add the panko to another pie plate or dish. Sprinkle the fish, flour, egg whites and panko lightly with salt and pepper and seafood seasoning. Begin by taking 1 piece of fish at a time and dredging first in the flour, then into the egg whites, then the panko and then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces of fish. Spray the tops of the fish sticks with canola oil.
• Place the baking sheet into the oven and cook the fish for 8 minutes, turning once, and continue to cook another 8 minutes. Remove the fish sticks and let cool for 5 minutes.

FISH TACOS WITH SPICY SLAW

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Combine fish, cilantro stems, and jalapenos. Coat with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill fish and jalapenos until fish is opaque throughout and jalapenos are charred and tender, about 5 minutes per side.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cabbage, and onion. Seed and finely chop 2 grilled jalapenos and add to bowl. Season to taste with seasoning salt and lime juice. Flake fish and divide among tortillas. Top with slaw and serve with cilantro leaves; remaining grilled jalapeno, thinly sliced; more seasoning salt; lime wedges; and avocado.

CRISPY TILAPIA FISH TACOS WITH SLAW

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, onion, pickles, and lemon juice for tartar sauce in a bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until needed.
• Combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix garlic and ginger with rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over slaw and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
• Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a deep pot over medium heat.
• While oil is heating, mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Slowly add ginger ale and mix to combine. You don't want the batter to be overly thick; excess batter should be able to coat the fish entirely, but still be able to drip off.
• Pat tilapia chunks dry and dredge in the batter until thoroughly coated.
• Test the oil by adding a few drops of batter in it; when the batter begins to bubble and float, the oil is ready. Working in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot, carefully lower some tilapia into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining tilapia.
• To serve, place slaw on warm tortillas. Top with tilapia and tartar sauce.
