NOTES:
- We used Tajin seasoning as my chili lime seasoning. It’s quite salty so we skipped additional salt. If you use another version of a chili lime seasoning with less salt you may need to add salt.
- Taste and adjust the sauce as needed. You may even want to add a bit of water to thin the sauce, or an ⅛ teaspoon of sugar to tone down the tanginess.
Serves 4
INSTRUCTIONS
- Season both sides of the fish with cumin and chili lime seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook fish for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked.
- Meanwhile, make your sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients listed above. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed and add water if desired in order to thin. Then refrigerate until ready to use.
- Combine all slaw ingredients.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the slaw into bowls, lay cod on top of the slaw, and drizzle sauce onto the fish. Or for tacos, heat tortillas and place ⅓ – ½ of each fish filet into a tortilla. Top with the slaw and sauce.
- Serve with lime wedges & enjoy!
