Ingredients

Let’s do this

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 425°F. Pat the fish dry and place in a lightly oiled baking dish. Rub with olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt.

  2. 2

    Bake for 10–12 minutes, depending on thickness, until the center reaches 145°F on a food thermometer.

  3. 3

    While it cooks, toss cabbage with yogurt and 2 teaspoons lime juice in a clean bowl.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side. Flake the cooked fish with a fork and add the remaining teaspoon lime juice.

  5. 5

    Divide slaw, fish, avocado, and cilantro among the tortillas. Serve immediately.
