Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb white fish (cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro. In another small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss well. Refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
- Season your fish strips generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Dredge each strip first in all-purpose flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs before coating it thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in your skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated fish strips to the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Warm up your corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Place several crispy fish strips inside each tortilla. Top generously with cilantro lime slaw.
- If desired, garnish your tacos with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your delicious Crispy Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Slaw immediately!
