Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Place fish fillets on a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Mix ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika, cumin powder and salt together and sprinkle over the top and bottom of each fillet. Layer a few slices of lemon on top of each fillet and drizzle with olive oil. Set aside.
  • Make jalapeño-cilantro slaw. Set aside.
  • Make chipotle crema. Set aside.
  • Bake fish until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Depending on the thickness of your fish, cook times will vary. Wrap corn tortillas in foil and toss them into the same oven to warm while the fish bakes.
  • To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of fish onto each tortilla and pile high with slaw and fresh avocado. Top with crema, a squeeze of lime juice and hot sauce. Enjoy!
