Ingredients

Orange Jicama Slaw

1 large jicama, peeled and cut into matchsticks about 1 pound
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
1 small jalapeno, minced
3 tbsp chopped cilantro
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 whole orange, zested
3 tbsp fresh orange juice
½ tsp kosher salt
pinch cayenne pepper

Fish Tacos

1 ⅓ lbs cod fillets cut into 4 servings
3 tbsp taco seasoning
2 tbsp avocado oil
warmed flour tortillas
Optional: any hot sauce, roasted tomatillo salsa or chipotle sauce (recipe below)

Instructions

Add all ingredients for the slaw to a medium bowl, toss and refrigerate while you make the fish.
Using paper towels, pat the fish dry and sprinkle with about 3 tbsp of taco seasoning, rubbing in to make sure the fish is well seasoned.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the seasoned fish to the skillet. Cook until golden on both sides and easily flakes, about 3 minutes per side.
Serve fish in warmed tortillas and top with slaw any additional sauce.

Notes

Homemade Taco Seasoning

*We enjoy serving fish tacos with this chipotle sauce: 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 canned chipotle pepper (finely chopped) plus 1 tbsp of the adobo sauce, a drizzle of honey, half of squeezed lime and a pinch of salt.
