Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish such as cod or tilapia
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 6-inch corn or flour tortillas
- 1 batch fish taco sauce
- 1 avocado sliced, optional
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Juice of 1 lime
Slaw
- 3 cups shredded cabbage or bagged, unprepared cole slaw mix
- ⅓ cup loosely packed cilantro

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place fish on the parchment.
- Rub olive oil all over fish on both sides.
- Stir together chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and cumin. Sprinkle all over the fish on both sides. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
- Transfer baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-14 minutes. Optional: broil for the last 2 minutes.
- While fish is cooking, prepare the slaw by stirring together mayo, lime juice, honey, and salt and pepper. Toss with the cabbage and cilantro and set aside.
- Use a fork to gently pull apart the fish into chunks. Serve in tortillas with slaw, avocado slices, and drizzle with fish taco sauce. Serve immediately with lots of extra lime wedges for squeezing!

Notes
- The fish: I usually use cod in this recipe, but tilapia or another mild white fish work would work great.
