Ingredients
  

For the Fish
  • 1.5 lbs cod or halibut fillets cut into 4-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil for frying
For the Mango Salsa
  • 2 large ripe mangos peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 medium jalapeño seeded and minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
For Assembly
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups cabbage finely shredded
  • 1 large lime cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Mango Salsa
  1. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Mix gently and set aside to let flavors meld while you prepare the fish.
Cook the Fish
  1. Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dredge each piece of fish in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add fish pieces, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to a plate and break into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Tacos
  1. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.
  2. Place warm tortillas on plates. Divide fish among tortillas, then top with mango salsa and shredded cabbage.
  3. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

The mango salsa can be made up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerated. For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in the salsa. Leftover fish works great in salads or grain bowls the next day.
