Fish Tacos

Method

Instructions

1

Prepare the Fish

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set up a breading station by placing flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Dip each fillet in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

2

Bake the Fish

Place the breaded fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through.

3

Prepare the Cabbage

In a bowl, combine the shredded napa cabbage with honey cumin dressing. Toss to coat evenly.

4

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the corn tortillas in a pan or microwave. On each tortilla, place a piece of baked fish, topped with the chipotle mayo and honey cumin dressed cabbage. Add a dollop of sour cream.

5

Serve

Serve the tacos with tortilla chips and salsa on the side.
