Easy Sheet Pan Fish Tacos Recipes

QUICK FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix sour cream and lime juice together in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Reserve about half the mixture in another bowl for serving. Mince half the jalapeno pepper; save other half for later. Toss cabbage, green onions, and minced jalapeno half in remaining sour cream mixture until slaw is well mixed.
• Heat olive oil and remaining jalapeno half in a large skillet over medium heat; swirl oil to coat skillet evenly. Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Pan-fry fish strips in the skillet in 2 batches until fish is golden brown and easily flaked with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes. Discard jalapeno half.
• Heat tortillas in the microwave on high until warm, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Serve fish in warmed tortillas topped with cabbage slaw, reserved sour cream mixture, and cilantro.

FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Place the cod on a sheet pan and rub generously on both sides with the spice mixture. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is flaky and cooked through. Remove from the oven.
• In a large skillet or directly over a gas burner at medium heat, warm the tortillas briefly, flipping once with tongs. Place on plates.
• Break the fish into large chunks and divide among the tortillas. Top with the avocado slices, cilantro, and cabbage and serve with lime wedges.

EASY MAHI MAHI FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Season mahi mahi lightly with adobo seasoning and 1 dash of lime juice.
• Mix tomato, red onion, cilantro, scallions, and 2 tablespoons lime juice together in a bowl for the pico de gallo.
• Lightly spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; turn stove to medium-high heat. Cook mahi mahi until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
• Place corn tortillas between damp paper towels; microwave until heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Place 1/2 of each mahi mahi fillet on a tortilla. Top each with 2 slices avocado and 1 scoop of pico de gallo.

FISH TACOS

Steps:

• To make beer batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Blend egg and beer, then quickly stir into the flour mixture (don't worry about a few lumps).
• To make white sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt and mayonnaise. Gradually stir in fresh lime juice until consistency is slightly runny. Season with jalapeno, capers, oregano, cumin, dill, and cayenne.
• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Dust fish pieces lightly with flour. Dip into beer batter, and fry until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Lightly fry tortillas; not too crisp. To serve, place fried fish in a tortilla, and top with shredded cabbage, and white sauce.

SHEET-PAN CRISPY FISH TACOS WITH CHILI-ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350°F. Pulse pumpkin seeds in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet and toss with panko. Toast until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and stir in 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper; wipe off sheet.
• Meanwhile, cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Slice each piece on a diagonal into 3/4" strips. Whisk eggs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Set wire rack into rimmed baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray.
• Dredge each piece of fish in mayonnaise mixture, then roll in pumpkin-panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange in a single layer on prepared rack. Spread corn with remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper and arrange on second baking sheet. Place baking sheet with fish on upper rack of oven and corn on lower rack. Bake fish until opaque and flesh flakes apart when pierced with a paring knife, 18-22 minutes, and bake corn, turning once halfway through, until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, working one at a time, warm tortillas with tongs directly over a gas burner, turning them often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 1 minute per side. (If you don't have a gas stove, wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave in 20-second bursts until warm.) Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Divide fish among tortillas and top with cabbage, avocado, cilantro, jalapeños, and hot sauce. Serve with corn and lime wedges alongside.

BAKED PUFFY FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle powder, salt, hot sauce, and lime juice for sauce in a bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed. Refrigerate until needed.
• Cut fish into eight 1 ½-inch pieces.
• Transfer fish to a bowl; add olive oil, salt, cumin, chipotle pepper, and chili powder. Toss with tongs, thoroughly but gently, until coated.
• Let fish marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss cabbage, salt, lime juice, and dried oregano together in a bowl with your hands until coated.
• Place 2 tortillas on the prepared baking sheet and coat lightly on both sides with some olive oil. Place 3 ounces of sliced fish on each tortilla, on only one side so that you can fold the tacos after baking.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and tortillas are browned and puffy, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Fold tacos in the center of each tortilla to crease. Top with cabbage, followed by jalapenos, radishes, and sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over. Repeat for remaining 2 tacos.
