Ingredients

For the Fish:

  • 4 tilapia fillets (or any mild white fish such as cod or halibut)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Best Fish Taco Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (from 1 medium lime)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce (or more, depending on your spice preference)

Toppings:

  • Shredded cabbage or coleslaw
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Crumbled Cotija cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
  • In a small bowl, combine cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the tilapia fillets.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and top each with a dot of butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. For extra browning, broil for 3-5 minutes at the end.
  • While the fish bakes, prepare the taco sauce by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, and sriracha sauce until smooth.
  • Warm tortillas. Assemble tacos by placing the baked fish on tortillas, drizzling with taco sauce, and topping with shredded cabbage, cilantro, Cotija cheese, and a squeeze of lime.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover fish and sauce can be stored separately for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Reheat the fish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes.
  • Fish Alternatives: Use cod, halibut, or shrimp for different variations.
  • Extra Spice: Adjust sriracha or add sliced jalapeños to the toppings for added heat.
