Blackened Cod Fish Tacos Recipes

BLACKENED FISH TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt, brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the mixture as evenly as possible over both sides of the fish fillets.
• Combine all of the Avocado-Cilantro Sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until well-combined; set aside.
• Combine all of the Slaw ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the fillets (a few at a time if you can't fit them all at once). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the outside is blackened and the fish flakes apart easily. Note: try not to move them around so as to achieve a blackening affect. Too much movement, also, encourages the spice mixture to stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the fish from the heat, and if desired, warm the tortillas in the same skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side.
• Break up the cooked fillets into 2-3" pieces. Distribute the fish evenly between the tortillas and top with Slaw and Avocado-Cilantro Sauce. You may garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves and/or jalapeno, if desired.

BLACKENED COD FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle flakes, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Add mashed avocado and lime juice and stir until well blended. Place in the refrigerator until tacos are ready to be assembled.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil.
• Rub fish in olive oil, then sprinkle with blackening seasoning and rub until covered.
• Place tortillas in the preheated oven to warm.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add fish and cook until browned and flaky, about 2 minutes per side. Lower heat and flake fish into small pieces in the pan.
• Remove tortillas from the oven. Spread avocado-chipotle sauce onto warm tortillas. Add fish, pico de gallo, and shredded coleslaw mix.

BAKED COD FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place cod fillets in a casserole dish and drizzle with olive oil and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Season with cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and break apart the fish in the baking dish with 2 forks.
• Meanwhile, combine sour cream, garlic, lime zest, 1/4 teaspoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt for crema in a bowl. Combine cabbage, 1/4 teaspoon lime juice, and vinegar for cabbage slaw in another bowl.
• Warm tortillas in the microwave on default mode with a dampened paper towel draped over, 30 to 45 seconds.
• Assemble tacos by layering each tortilla with cod, cabbage slaw, crema, and tomato. Serve hot.
