Ingredients

Tap an ingredient to tick it off. Doubling changes the amounts, not the nutrition panel — that stays per serving.

Method

  1. Toss the cabbage with half the lime juice and the salt and leave it 15 minutes, until it softens and turns almost pickled.
  2. Mix the paprika, cumin and cayenne and press onto the dry cod. Heat the oil in a 10-inch (25cm) skillet over medium-high heat and cook the cod 2 to 3 minutes a side until a dark spice crust forms and it flakes at 145°F (63°C).
  3. Warm the tortillas in the same pan for 30 seconds a side. Build with the slaw first, then the fish, yogurt, avocado and the rest of the lime juice.
Chef’s tipAcid first: The lime-dressed slaw is doing as much work here as the spice.
KeepCook the fish fresh. The slaw keeps 2 days in the fridge.
