Ingredients

  • 1 pound firm, mild white fish fillets cut into 8 strips such as pollock, tilapia or snapper
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups seafood breading mix
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 cup red salsa I use pre-made salsa from the refrigerated section of my grocery store
  • optional garnishes: cilantro sprigs and lime wedges
  • 8 small corn tortillas
For the sauce:
  • 1/3 cup PLAIN yogurt
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Brush water over the pieces of fish. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the seafood breader on a plate. Roll each piece of fish in the seafood breader until completely coated.
  3. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the fish in a single layer and cook until deep golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. You may need to cook the fish in batches.
  4. While the fish is cooking, make the sauce. In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, water and salt and pepper to taste, set aside.
  5. To assemble, place 2 tablespoons of cabbage onto each of the 8 tortillas. Add a piece of fish on top of the cabbage. Add 1 tablespoon of salsa to each taco, then drizzle the white sauce over the top.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
