Taco Ingredients

Method

Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Cod

    In a bowl, coat the cod fillets with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly covered. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cod

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and sear the marinated cod fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each warm tortilla, place a portion of the seared cod, followed by a sprinkle of shredded jack cheese, shredded lettuce, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo.
