Fun and EASY Fish Tacos
- 1-2 LBs White Fish, (firm, mild tasting filets like cod, haddock or amberjack)
- 1⁄2 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- 2 TB Medium Grind Cornmeal
- 2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1⁄2 tsp Olive Oil Spray or Olive Oil
- 1⁄2 Cup Olive or Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
- 1 TB Lime Juice
- 2 TB Chopped Pickled Jalapeños
- 1 TB Chopped Cilantro
- Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1 Bag Broccoli Slaw
- 12 – 16 Corn *Tortillas, Warm
- 1 Large Chopped Avocado

Step One
Preheat the oven to 350F. Cut the fish into 3⁄4” slices. Coat the fish by placing the panko, cornmeal and paprika in a plastic zip bag. Add the fish slices a few at a time and shake to coat well. Place the slices on a sheet tray that has been sprayed or rubbed with olive oil and cook for 5 – 8 minutes or until the fish is flaky and white.
Step Two
To make the Taco Sauce, add the mayo, lime juice, jalapeños and cilantro to a small bowl and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step Three
Place a spoonful of broccoli slaw and a piece or two of fish in each taco. Top with a slice of avocado and a healthy dollop of sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro
No. 2 : Kitchen Scoop
I use corn tortillas in this recipe, but you can sub flour tortillas. My favorite brand of tortillas? El Milagro – you can find them at Buford Hwy Farmer’s Mkt and bodegas around Atlanta. You can even order them from Amazon – but you’ll have to find friends 😀 the order includes 25 packages!
No. 3 : Clever Idea
I love a cloth tortilla warmer! Just place the tortillas in the warmer separated by parchment paper and pop them into the microwave for 1 minute. If you don’t have a warmer like THIS ONE separate the tortillas like above, and wrap in a kitchen towel and microwave them for 1 minute.

Broadbent Vinho Verde Minho Portugal About $10
This wine is one I return to again and again—and I loved visiting the region where it’s made just last week: Vinho Verde. (Quick tip: the final “e” is barely pronounced, so “Vinho Verd” will make you sound like a pro.) Despite what many think, Vinho Verde isn’t a style—it’s a place in northwest Portugal known for a range of wines, though especially its light, crisp whites like this one. It’s perfect with tacos, seafood, and the classic Portuguese pairing: cod. Bright, refreshing, and slightly effervescent, it brings a lively edge to any dish.
