Fish Taco Recipe

June 27, 2021

Tacos With Sauce 6-20

We haven’t had a decent fish taco since living in Florida, until now. With just a few simple steps, these fish tacos come together quickly and are extremely satisfying. This meal is light, healthy, and packed with an assortment of fresh flavors. The ingredients are both vibrant in taste and color and the best part is, everything is topped with an irresistible garlic-lime sauce.

The Recipe

I would like to thank Natasha Kravchuk from Natasha’s Kitchen for this delicious recipe. These fish tacos are going to be my new go-to recipe for a nutritious and satisfying meal. This recipe is also versatile in that you can make all sorts of substitutions to suit your tastes. I substituted the tilapia for cod and the Cotija cheese for feta. I’m sure this recipe will be a real crowd pleaser and would be a big hit at your next gathering.

Cod 6-20

Lightly drizzle fish with olive oil and dot each piece with butter. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for twenty to twenty-five minutes. If desired, in order to brown edges, broil for three to five minutes after baking.

Making the Taco Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine all of the taco sauce ingredients and whisk until well blended.

For assembling, start with pieces of fish then add remaining ingredients, finishing with a generous sprinkle of cotija cheese and finish by squirting each taco with the sauce with a squeeze bottle if you have one handy. You can just as easily use a spoon for spooning the sauce over each taco, too. Serve with a fresh lime wedge to squeeze over tacos.

About Laura G

Hi, I'm Laura G. A photographer, blogger and self-proclaimed food connoisseur.

As a child, I was exposed to a wide variety of foods. My mother had my siblings and me try foods at least once and if we didn't like what we tasted, we didn't have to eat it again. Luckily, I enjoyed almost everything that I tried. Unfortunately, in my adult years, I've been living with an autoimmune disease that has forced me to reevaluate my food choices. Even though I can no longer eat the foods I once enjoyed, many great alternatives have presented themselves. I believe we truly are what we eat and I look for the best food ingredients to fuel my body. I hope the recipes here on this food blog inspire you in your own food preparation endeavors.
