Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Takeout Fish Taco with Garlic Sauce! Tender fish, spiced to perfection, wrapped in warm tortillas.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish fillets with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Step 2: Cook the fish on the grill or in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: While the fish is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or directly over a low flame until they are soft and pliable.
  4. Step 4: Once the fish is ready, remove it from the heat and break it into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of fish on each tortilla, then top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and drizzle generously with garlic sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftover fish tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and consume them within 2 days.
  • To reheat, gently warm the fish in a skillet over low heat and microwave the tortillas for about 10-15 seconds to maintain their softness without drying them out.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding sliced avocado or a squeeze of lime juice on top of your tacos just before serving.
  • When seasoning the fish, feel free to experiment with additional spices like cumin or chili powder to customize the flavor profile to your liking!
