Skip the mess of deep frying. Pumpkin seed- and panko-crusted fish stays extra crispy when baked on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet, which allows air to circulate around the pieces.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
3-4 skinless mild fish fillets (such as red snapper, striped bass, or halibut; each 3/4" thick, about 1 pound total), pin bones removed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise, divided
3 teaspoons chili powder, divided
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
4 ears of corn, husked
12 taco-size corn tortillas
Shredded green cabbage, sliced avocado, cilantro leaves with tender stems, pickled jalapeño slices, hot sauce, and lime wedges (for serving)
Special equipment:
An ovenproof wire rack that fits inside an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet; 2 (18x13") rimmed baking sheets

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350°F. Pulse pumpkin seeds in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet and toss with panko. Toast until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and stir in 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper; wipe off sheet.
  • Meanwhile, cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Slice each piece on a diagonal into 3/4" strips. Whisk eggs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Set wire rack into rimmed baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Dredge each piece of fish in mayonnaise mixture, then roll in pumpkin-panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange in a single layer on prepared rack. Spread corn with remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper and arrange on second baking sheet. Place baking sheet with fish on upper rack of oven and corn on lower rack. Bake fish until opaque and flesh flakes apart when pierced with a paring knife, 18-22 minutes, and bake corn, turning once halfway through, until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, working one at a time, warm tortillas with tongs directly over a gas burner, turning them often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 1 minute per side. (If you don't have a gas stove, wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave in 20-second bursts until warm.) Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
  • Divide fish among tortillas and top with cabbage, avocado, cilantro, jalapeños, and hot sauce. Serve with corn and lime wedges alongside.

EASY SHEET PAN FISH TACOS



Easy Sheet Pan Fish Tacos image

Flaky white fish with crusty, caramelized edges is topped with a cilantro slaw and drizzled with a smoky sour cream sauce in this simple fish taco recipe. Baking the fish on a sheet pan is a little heathier and a lot less messy than frying it, and means cleanup will be a breeze! For family dinners or casual get-togethers, set this up as a taco bar with other toppings such as pico de gallo, avocado slices, pickled red onions, crumbled cotija cheese, and black beans.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 (5 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
8 small flour tortillas
1 medium lime, cut into wedges
4 cups coleslaw mix
½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium lime, juiced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped
1 tablespoon adobo sauce
¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Mix together chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper for tacos in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Brush 2 tablespoons oil all over the prepared pan, then add mahi mahi fillets. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil over the fillets and rub to coat. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes evenly with a fork and drippings are caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • While the fish is baking, prepare slaw by combining coleslaw mix, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, oil, lime juice, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl; toss until well combined.
  • Stir together sour cream, chipotle in adobo, adobo sauce, and salt for crema together in a small bowl.
  • Char tortillas over a gas flame.
  • Remove fish from the oven and flake it with a fork.
  • Fill tortillas with fish and slaw. Drizzle with crema and squeeze lime wedges over top.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm-fleshed fish: Tilapia, cod, and halibut are all great options because they hold up well to being cooked on a sheet pan.
  • Make sure your fish is dry before cooking: Pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the fish to crisp up in the oven.
  • Season your fish generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Roast the fish at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside while keeping the inside of the fish moist and flaky.
  • Serve the fish tacos immediately: They're best when they're hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Sheet pan crispy fish tacos are a quick and easy weeknight meal that's also healthy and delicious. They're perfect for a casual get-together or a family dinner. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these tacos at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try tonight!
