Notes
- If you are in a hurry, you can use frozen fish. Just look in the freezer section of the grocery store for breaded frozen white fish. Arrange them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, and bake. Or cook them in a skillet set at medium heat with a little vegetable oil. Then prepare the rest of the recipe as directed.
- If I don’t have time to whip up a fresh sauce, I’ll use a bottled chipotle ranch sauce from the grocery store.
- Another timesaver tip is to use a bag of pre-shredded cabbage.
