Instructions
Prepare the Toppings:
- Mix the yogurt, lime juice, half the zest and salt. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare + Cook Fish:
- Brush an oven-safe pan with half the oil (½ tablespoon). Alternatively, use a sheet pan.Add the fish to the pan, and season the top of the fish with the chili powder, lime zest and sea salt.
- Drizzle the remaining ½ tablespoon oil on the fish, and use your fingers to rub the oil into the seasoning.
- Move an oven rack to about 4" away from the broiler.Preheat broiler to high.Slide the pan into the oven.Cook fish for 5 minutes per ½" thickness, or until the fish is tender and easily flakes apart with a fork.Do not flip the fish halfway through cooking.
Assemble Tacos:
- While the fish broils, heat the tortillas.Brush a non-stick or cast-iron pan with oil. Heat the pan over medium-high heat, and cook the tortillas one at a time. Heat about 30 seconds on the first side and 15 seconds on the other side, until each side begins to bubble up.Keep tortillas warm by placing on a plate and covering with a towel.When the fish is done cooking, slice or flake apart with a fork.
- To assemble the tacos, divide the fish, cabbage (or sauerkraut), salsa and sliced avocado among the tortillas. Top each taco with a dollop of yogurt sauce and a little cilantro. Alternatively, arrange all the ingredients as a taco bar and let everyone build their own tacos.Serve right away while the fish and tortillas are still warm.
Notes
- Need to keep the fish warm while you're waiting on guests to arrive or other food to cook? Place it on an oven-safe platter in a 200°F oven.
