Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as tilapia)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 pieces corn or flour tortillas
  • red cabbage slaw or salad greens
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Place the fish fillets in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • While the fish cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 20 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Whisk in white wine, Dijon mustard, lime zest, and lime juice. Cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add chili powder and whisk in heavy cream. Cook and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Warm each tortilla for a few seconds on each side.
  • Break the cooked fish into flakes and place in warm tortillas. Top with cabbage slaw or salad greens and drizzle with the creamy lime mustard sauce before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas. Add your favorite taco toppings like diced mango, guacamole, or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
