Instructions
Preparation
Step 1: Combine the fish marinade ingredients in a zip-top bag. Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes, and no longer than 1 hour.
Step 2: Place the pickled cabbage ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Set aside for 30 minutes. Drain off excess liquid, scrunch the cabbage with your hands to help soften it, then set aside.
Step 3: Mix the sour cream and sriracha together.
Step 4: Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook the fish for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
Step 5: Transfer the fish to a plate and flake it into large pieces.
Step 6: To assemble the tacos, top each tortilla with cabbage, fish, a dollop of sour cream sauce, and a squeeze of lime juice. Fold the tortilla over to serve.
Notes
Fish and ingredient swaps
Snapper, barramundi, tilapia, basa, cod, John Dory, Silver Dory, ling, bream, haddock, pollack, and monkfish are listed as suitable fish choices. The recipe advises against lean fish such as swordfish, tuna, and kingfish, and very delicate fish such as Dover sole and flounder.
If chipotle powder is unavailable, use 1/2 tablespoon each of smoked paprika and cumin, plus 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. To make the sauce less spicy, replace some or all of the sriracha with ketchup.
