Ingredients

• 1 lb Halibut fillets
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 Avocados
• 1 cup Red cabbage
• 1 Lime
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tbsp Hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the halibut fillets.

Step 4

Place the halibut on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish cooks, thinly slice the red cabbage and drizzle with lime juice. Toss to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, mash the avocados with a fork and mix in a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas by lightly toasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven for a few minutes.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos: start by spreading a layer of mashed avocado on each tortilla, then add a portion of the cooked halibut, followed by the red cabbage slaw.

Step 9

Top each taco with a dollop of sour cream, a dash of hot sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
