Florida Fish Tacos

Cultural Context

Fish tacos have their roots in the coastal regions of Mexico, particularly Baja California, where fresh fish is abundant. In Florida, these tacos have been embraced with local flavors, often featuring a variety of fish and toppings like citrus slaw and avocado. They represent a vibrant part of the state's culinary scene, reflecting both the coastal lifestyle and the influence of Latin American cuisine. Today, Florida fish tacos are enjoyed across the U.S., often served at beachside eateries and food trucks, showcasing the fresh, light flavors of the region.

16 ounces cod
2 cups pre-mixed cabbage and carrot blend
1/4 cup cilantro
1/2 lime
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2

Bake panko bread crumbs in the oven for 5 minutes until browned.

3

Combine 2 cups of pre-mixed cabbage and carrot blend with 1/4 cup of cilantro and the juice of half a lime in a bowl. Stir to combine and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

4

Prepare the sriracha lime crema by mixing 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, the juice of the other half of the lime, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir and refrigerate.

5

Season the baked panko bread crumbs with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, a pinch of kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

6

Beat one egg in a small bowl for breading the fish.

7

Bread the fish by using the wet hand dry hand method: dip the fish in the egg with one hand and coat with panko with the other. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

8

Bake the breaded fish in the oven for 9-10 minutes until it reaches 140 degrees or is flaky.

9

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds per side, not exceeding 90 seconds total.

10

Assemble the tacos by placing a couple of tortillas on a plate, adding a portion of slaw, then the baked fish, drizzling with sriracha lime crema, and serving with a slice of lime.
