baked fish tacos

These baked cod fish tacos are an easy dinner. They're dairy free and simple enough for a weeknight dinner, but tasty enough for a crowd! They taste deep fried (without being deep fried) and are drizzled with a spicy tahini dressing.

Baked Spicy Cod Fish Tacos

cod (about 4 pieces, defrosted if previously frozen)

gluten free all purpose flour

breadcrumbs

chili powder

garlic powder

cumin

salt

eggs

cilantro lime rice

purple cabbage

limes

cilantro

yogurt

tahini

honey

garlic (about 1 clove)

sriracha

lime juice

(about 2-4 tablespoons)

preheat

Preheat the oven 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 

slice the fish

Slice each piece of cod into about 1 inch wide by 2 inch long pieces. 

whisk egg

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg until the yolk is completely broken up. 

combine flour

In a second bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, spices and salt. 

dip into egg

Dip each piece of cod into the egg, then immediately into the breadcrumb mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all fish has been used. 

bake

Add to the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. 

shred cabbage

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the shredded cabbage (I like to use a mandoline to grate it finely), lime juice, cilantro, mayo and salt. Massage with your hands and let sit to marinate. 

make dressing

In a second bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing, adding enough water so it isn't too thick. Add just 2-4 tbsp at a time so it doesn't get too watery too quickly.

The breadcrumb mixture at this point will kind of just be sitting on top of the cod, so to give a feel of it being a bit more deep fried, add enough oil to a pan to coat the bottom. Once hot, add each piece of cod (leaving enough space between each) and cook on each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. 

add to wire rack

Transfer to a wire rack while you finish all of the fish.

serve

Assemble the tacos with a tortilla, cilantro lime rice (or just serve this on the side), cod, cabbage, pico de gallo and the spicy tahini dressing. Enjoy!

I'm so excited to find your site! My daughter was just diagnosed with multiple food sensitivities so I'm searching for gluten, dairy, cane sugar and egg free recipes and I've already found so many great options here! Any thoughts on making this without the egg? I've learned about flax eggs, but not sure if it works when trying to bread fish. Thanks in advance!

This recipe is divine! I tried it today and ate way too much! I think I may have the tahini dressing on everything from now on!
