Ingredients
4 cod fillets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cups shredded purple cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
8 small corn tortillas
1 jalapeño, chopped
1/2 cup corn
1–2 tablespoons oil for cooking
Instructions
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels.
Mix lemon juice, oil, paprika, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Coat the cod in the marinade and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
In a bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, corn, jalapeño, cilantro, and yogurt. Mix well and chill.
In another bowl, whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, and seasoning to make the sauce.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with oil.
Cook the cod for 4–5 minutes until opaque and flaky.
Break the fish into chunks.
Warm or char the tortillas.
Assemble tacos with fish, slaw, and sauce, then serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, do not overcook the fish. Assemble tacos just before serving to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.
