Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- To prepare crema, combine the first 8 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
- To prepare tacos, combine cumin and next 5 ingredients (through garlic powder) in a small bowl; sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of fish. Place fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish in a bowl; break into pieces with a fork.
- Heat tortillas according to package directions. Divide fish evenly among tortillas; top each with 1/4 cup cabbage and 1 tablespoon crema.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh fish fillets. If you're using frozen fish, thaw it completely before cooking.
- To get crispy fish tacos, make sure the fish is dry before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the fish. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
- Serve the fish tacos immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include shredded cabbage, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
