I gathered my order with the intention of feeding a group of hungry friends. We were heading out for a weekend getaway to celebrate a friend's upcoming wedding, and I was responsible for the food. One of my favorite dishes to prepare is fish tacos. I grabbed my packed Philly Foodworks boxes, and off we went!

These fish tacos are a versatile recipe that can be easily adapted to suit your household's preferences. Don’t like halibut? No problem—feel free to use your favorite white fish. Prefer to avoid the spice? Just keep your favorite hot sauce on hand for those who enjoy a little kick.

Fish Tacos

Prep time: ~30min Cook: ~12min

Ingredients:

1lb Halibut (can be Cod, Tilapia, or other white fish) *shrimp would be great too!

2-3 tsp Chili powder

Salt

1/2 cup Sour cream

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

3-4 tbsp Lime juice (fresh)

Limes (wedges for serving)

Hot sauce (my favorite is Goodlands’ Maple Chili Garlic, which you can find on the market)

1 head of red cabbage

Toppings for serving:

Avocados

Red radishes

Jalapeños

Scallions

Cilantro

Flour or corn tortillas

For the fish:

1lb Halibut (can be Cod, Tilapia, or other white fish)

~2-3 tsp chili powder

~1 tsp salt (I like kosher salt)

Season the fish, wrap it in tin foil, and put it back in the fridge. Prep everything else before you cook the fish. If it’s going in the oven, set it to 375. If it’s going on the grill (my choice), make sure it’s on medium.

Shred the red cabbage.

Combine:

1/2cup sour cream

1/4cup mayonnaise

3-4 tbsp (~2 limes) lime juice

1 tsp hot sauce of your choice (optional)

—Generously coat the shredded cabbage with this mixture.

Prep your taco toppings:

Thinly slice radishes and jalapeños.

Cut avocados.

Chop up the cilantro.

Turn on the grill and put some tortillas on it to warm up a bit— set aside covered in tin foil.

Cook the fish until it’s done. (~10-15 min depending on how crispy you like it)

*Alternatively, if you do not have a grill, you can broil, bake, or pan-sear your fish!

When the fish is done, you’re ready. Build your tacos with your desired toppings!
