Ingredients

  • 1 lbs cod fillets wild-caught
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1.5 cups green cabbage
  • 1.5 cups red cabbage
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 3 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 green or spring onion
  • 1/2 cup cilantro fresh
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1.5 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt kosher

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill on medium-heat (375 - 450 degrees F).
  • Wash the fish and pat it dry with a paper towel.
  • Spread a bit olive oil on the fish to make the seasoning stick.
  • Sprinkle fajita seasoning on both sides of each fillet.
  • Place fish on cooking grates but not directly over flames. Cook for approximately 4 minutes. Flip it and cook for about another 2-4 minutes depending on how browned it is.
  • Once the fish reaches an internal temperature of 130 F, remove it and break the fillets apart with forks. Set aside.
  • Slice all the cabbage into thin slices or grate it for the slaw.
  • In a bowl, mix the sliced cabbage, lime juice, and spring onion. You can add a 1/2 tsp of salt for flavoring.
  • Char or warm the tortillas on the grill for a few seconds.
  • Now add the fish and slaw into each tortilla and top with the sauce and fresh chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • You can use 1-2 lbs of fish, depending on the size of your tortillas. If they're the larger kind of tortilla you'll need more fish and more cabbage. Adjust seasonings accordingly.
  • If you can't find cod, use any fresh white fish fillets for a similar mild fishy flavor. 
  • Add more kosher salt to the fish if your fajita seasoning doesn't have salt.
