Ingredients
Tacos:
  • 1½ lbs cod fillet
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

  3. Place an oven-proof skillet into the preheated oven let it heat through for a few minutes. Take it out, pour in remaining melted butter and add seasoned fish fillets. Bake fish for 13-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the slaw by combining all ingredients together until well-combined. Set asdie to allow flavors to blend.
  5. Prepare the salsa by combining the ingredients until well-combined; set aside.
  6. Heat tortillas over an open flame until sligtly charred, flipping halfway through heating (about 20 seconds per side) or in the microwave, layered between moist papertowels.
  7. Fill each tortilla with ~2.5 ounces fish, slaw, and salsa. Serve immediately.
