This is a combination of the best ingredients from different fish tacos I have tried. The amounts below are approximate. I exaggerate all.

Hands-Free Mode Off

Equipment

Pie plate, small bowls, large cast iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 -1 1/2 lb halibut
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 4 ounces green cabbage (shredded)
  • 4 ounces red cabbage (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (julienned)
  • 3/4 cup ranch dressing (bottled, package, homemade )
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I used light)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • hot sauce (I use a lot, I like it spicy)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons jalapenos (minced)
  • 12 corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. For breading -- In a pie plate mix cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper, garlic powder and chili powder.

  2. In a small bowl mix cabbages and red onion. Set aside.

  3. For sauce -- In another small bowl (I like to use a pourable measuring cup) mix the Ranch, mayo, garlic powder, cumin, dill, pepper, lime juice, hot sauce and jalapeno.

  4. Cut fish into small slices. Roll in breading.

  5. Warm a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.

  6. Coat the pan with cooking oil.

  7. Fry fish pieces until lightly brown on all sides about 4-5 min being careful to not break up the pieces when turning.

  8. To serve-- put fish in warmed corn tortillas (I warm mine until slightly crispy on a cast iron pan), spoon some of the sauce over it and top with cabbage mixture. Enjoy!
