Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 tablespoons honey
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 limes, 1 zested and juiced, 1 sliced in half
One 16-ounce bag broccoli slaw
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 mini sweet peppers, sliced into rings
1 to 2 serrano chiles, sliced thinly
1 pound cod fillets
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
12 corn taco shells, blistered
Sliced avocado, sour cream, hot sauce and lime wedges, for the tacos

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Mix together the honey, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and juice and zest of 1 lime in a small bowl to make a glaze. Set aside.
Put the broccoli slaw in the bottom of a baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss. Scatter over the sliced sweet peppers and chiles. Top the slaw and peppers with the cod fillets. Season the cod with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the chipotle glaze over the fish and around the baking dish over the slaw.
Roast until the fish is cooked through and flaky, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately squeeze over the juice of the other lime. Flake the cod into large chunks and sprinkle over the chopped cilantro.
To build the tacos, place a couple chunks of cod into each taco shell. Top with a pinch of slaw, some sliced avocado, sour cream and hot sauce. Garnish with a lime wedge and squeeze over a little juice before eating.

Tips:

Choose fresh fish. The fresher the fish, the better your tacos will be. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
Use a variety of toppings. The great thing about fish tacos is that you can customize them to your liking. Some popular toppings include cabbage, pico de gallo, sour cream, avocado, and salsa.
Make your own tortillas. If you have the time, making your own tortillas is a great way to add an extra layer of flavor to your tacos. You can find recipes for homemade tortillas online or in cookbooks.
Don't overcook the fish. Fish cooks quickly, so it's important to take it off the heat as soon as it's cooked through. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
Serve the tacos immediately. Fish tacos are best served fresh and hot. If you're making them ahead of time, keep them warm in a low oven until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Fish tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a fun party appetizer. With a little creativity, you can easily customize them to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy fish, give fish tacos a try!
