- 1 pound cod (or other firm white fish like tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cilantro diced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder

Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt and lime juice in a small bowl.
- Add the fish to a sealable container or large plastic bag. Then pour the marinade over the top.
- Ensure the fish is coated in the marinade, seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 8 hours.
- Prepare the fish sauce by combining the mayonnaise and sour cream in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Add the hot sauce, lime juice and garlic powder. Taste and adjust as needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble tacos
- Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Remove the cod from the marinade and place in the skillet. Cook 3-5 minutes on each side until fish is opaque and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest 5 minutes before flaking or cutting.
- Heat corn tortillas in a small skillet or comal until heated through and slightly blackened if desired.
- Layer cabbage, cooked fish, and pico de gallo. Drizzle with fish taco sauce and top with crumbled cotija.

Notes
- Storage: store leftover cooked fish in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Although fish is best served fresh, you can reheat in the oven by wrapping with foil and baking at 275 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.
