    BEST Easy Fish Tacos & Slaw

    Happy Cinco De Mayo AND taco Tuesday! I have to be honest, it's a rainy cozy cold day here in Chicago and May has COMPLETELY snuck up on me...  So did Tuesday 😂, but we're here now and we have tacos. These are the BEST Easy Fish Tacos & Slaw, so so easy to whip up when you spontaneously need them. Crispy panko bread crumbs give the perfect texture to the light flaky baked fish, coleslaw adds a refreshing crunch and tartar sauce is the glue that ties it ALL together.

    My husband is actually the one behind this recipe and I love, love love it so much. Before I knew how to make it I referred to them as  "Aidan's Super Terrific Fish Tacos" when I'd try to get him to make them 5 days in a row... but now I know the recipe, they're all mine and I can make them as much as I want! hahaha. They're the perfect feel good fresh meal to get on the table fast.

    BEST TYPES OF FISH TO USE FOR FISH TACOS:

    I used cod for this recipe, but any type of white fish will work!

    • Tilapia
    • Halibut
    • Tilapia
    • Mahi mahi
    • Snapper
    • Flounder
    • Grouper
    • OR shrimp (if you love shrimp tacos check out my FAVORITE spicy shrimp tacos→ recipe here)

    Here’s How to Make the BEST Easy Fish Tacos & Slaw:

    {printable version with measurements below}

    Jump to Recipe

    • Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheet
    • Pat fillets to dry them off a bit and in a separate small bowl stir together olive oil, lemon juice and minced garlic. Brush and generously glaze the fillets with mixture.
    • Lightly season with season salt evenly across the fillets.
    • Set up shallow bowl or plate with bread crumbs. Press fish fillets into bread crumbs until they're fully coated.
    • Place breaded fillets on a lined baking sheet and bake them for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes turn your oven broiler on high and broil them for 2 minutes.

    The Perfect Tortillas [2 ways]:

    CRISPY FRIED TORTILLAS: Coat a large skillet with vegetable oil over high heat. Give enough time for oil to heat up and get hot. Add tortillas to skillet and cook to desired golden brown. Using a taco rack or upside down muffin tin position tortillas in U shape immediately after removing them from heat (*they will begin to harden as they cool).

    TOASTED TORTILLAS LIGHTENED UP: Add tortillas to a large skillet over high heat to begin toasting them. Cook until golden brown, and place on a taco rack or upside down muffin tin. Position tortillas in U shape immediately after removing them from heat (*they will begin to harden as they cool).

    BEST Easy Fish Tacos & Slaw

    Making the Slaw:

    In a small bowl stir together olive oil, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic (or garlic powder) and salt. Pour oven coleslaw mix and toss together until evenly coated.*If you don't have coleslaw mix, but have these vegetables on hand make your own coleslaw using this recipe!

    Combine:

    • ½ large carrot, grated
    • ½ large broccoli tree thinly chopped
    • ¼ head red cabbage, thinly chopped

    Taco Assembly:

    Place your baked fish fillet on a golden brown tortilla then top it with coleslaw and tartar sauce. That's it! It's ready to serve!
