Fish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw

Fish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw
(This Fish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw can be found on the site Hapa Nom Nom here.)
Step by Step Instructions:

Fish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw
Fish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw are about to be yours! Here’s what you’ll need: Cayenne Pepper, Salt & Pepper to taste, Sriracha, Coleslaw Mix (of green & red cabbage & carrots) or you can shred your own cabbage and carrots, Mayo, Soy Sauce, Corn Tortillas, 1 Orange, 2 Limes, fresh Cilantro, 1 Avocado, 4 Garlic Cloves (6 total if you make a full recipes worth), and Tilapia Filets (I used 1/2 a pound of fish rather than a pound since I didn’t want leftovers for 4 days).

Fish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw
Begin by mincing your garlic. If you make a full recipe of 1 pound of fish, mince 4 cloves. But since I was using half the fish, I went with 2 cloves. And wow do I love this fun garlic twist tool!

You’ll want 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. One orange should do it.

Zest your lime. And if you don’t have a microplane grater, oh you need one, my friend!

Then add 1/4 cup of soy sauce the the orange juice.

Then add the minced garlic, lime zest, and juice of one lime. Dear me, this smelled fabulous!

Then whisk up your marinade.

Add the fish filets to the dish. I used an 8×8 baking dish, which worked well. Flip the fish so both sides get coated in the marinade. Then pop the fish in the fridge to marinade for 15-20 minutes.

While the fish marinates, chop about 1/2 cup of cilantro.

Then mince 2 more cloves of garlic.

In a large bowl, it’s time to throw together the Sriracha aioli. Combine 1/2 cup of mayo (I like the olive oil variety), the minced garlic, pinch of cayenne, and 1 teaspoon of Sriracha.


And stir to combine.

Then add about 3 cups of cole slaw mixture or 1 cup of red cabbage, 1 cup of green cabbage (both finely shredded), and 2 shredded carrots. Also add your chopped cilantro.

Combine the slaw and add salt and pepper to taste. Then pop some plastic wrap over the top and let it sit in the fridge until you’re ready for it to put together theFish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw.

Heat up a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add one corn tortilla at a time. Once the skillet is hot 30-60 seconds will help give a slight char (and flavor) to the corn.

Here’s the flipped tortilla with a slight char to it. Be sure you don’t cook it to where the tortilla is stiff. You still want it to be flexible enough to eat like a proper taco. When you’re happy with your cooked tortilla, place it in between a the folds of a clean tea towel to keep it warm while you cook the fish.

In a large nonstick skillet you’ll heat a tablespoon (or so) of olive oil over medium heat.

Here’s the marinated fish. It sure smelled fab!

Add the fish to the hot oil (carefully) and cook about 2 minutes per side until the fish is brown on each side and flaky and white. Yay, your Fish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw are almost ready!!

Move the fish to a plate once it’s cooked and break it into bite-sized pieces. It’s time to put the Fish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw together! Scoop a good spoonful of the aioli down the center of the tortilla. Add 3-4 pieces of fish, and then your favorite toppings. I love some fresh avocado slices, freshly squeezed lime juice, and sour cream would be lovely too (although I skipped it this time to save some calories). And that’s it! Serve theFish Tacos with Sriracha Aioli Slaw right away and enjoy! Happy taco making!!

I'm a big fan of fish tacos, and these are fantastic. The Sriracha Aioli Slaw just sends this over the edge!!
Recipe type: Main
Serves: 10-12 Tacos
Ingredients
  • Fish Ingredients:
  • 1 pound Tilapia
  • ¼ cup fresh Orange Juice
  • 1 Lime, zested and juice
  • 4 cloves of Garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • Sriracha Aioli Slaw:
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
  • pinch Cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1 cup Red Cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup Green Cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 Carrots, shredded
  • ½ cup Cilantro, finely chopped
  • Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Other Ingredients
  • 8 (6 inch) Corn Tortillas
  • 1 Avocado, sliced
  • Sour Cream (optional)
  • Lime Slices
Preparation Instructions
  1. Start off by making your marinade for the fish. You’ll combine the orange juice, the zest and juice of 1 lime, minced garlic, and soy sauce in a glass dish. Then add the tilapia filets to the marinade and flip them over so each side is coated. Let it sit in the fridge and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. While the fish marinates, combine the Sriracha aioli in a large bowl. You’ll add the mayonnaise, minced garlic, pinch of cayenne, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and Sriracha to the bowl and mix it together. Then add the cabbage, carrots (or slaw mixture if you prefer), cilantro along with salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and stir until it’s well combined. Then cover and refrigerate until you’re ready for it.
  3. To prep the tortillas, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Then cook each side of the tortilla until it’s slightly charred. Once the skillet is hot 30-60 seconds a side should do it. Look for the tortillas to still be soft enough to work with. When they are cooked, place them in a clean tea towel until you’re ready for them to keep them warm.
  4. Heat up a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Then add the marinated fish to the pan (carefully) and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until the fish is slightly brown on each side and cooked so that it’s white and flaky. Once cooked, transfer the fish to a plate and break into bite-sized pieces.
  5. To put the tacos together, spoon a good helping of slaw down the center of the tortilla. Then add 3-4 pieces of fish along with any toppings you’d like such as avocado slices and sour cream. Finally squeeze some fresh lime juice over the the tacos and serve right away. Enjoy!

♥️
I'm so grateful for each of you in my life even if it's just through our phones most days. ♥️
I'm also supremely blessed for my amazing friends and family each day. To say they make my life better every day is an understatement. ♥️
Thanks to those of you who I can confide in at a moments notice. I'm honestly am a better person having you in my life. ♥️
And to my newest valentine, my puppy, I'm excited to see where this little adventure of ours is going. ♥️
Now I'm off to enjoy a night in with my guy cooking, laughing and relaxing on this chilly evening.
♥️
What are your big plans tonight? Netflix and chill, going somewhere fancy or hanging with your friends and family?

  • Here's a recent purchase of mine...a little humidifier for my apartment. My hands are crazy dry, my nostrils and lips are dry. I'm so over winter already so I've kept this going nonstop. So far I think it's helped me and my puppy a bit. What are your winter must haves? And also if you have any really great lotion recommendations for majorly dry skin that doesn't leave your hands super oily, comment with that too! So far Aquaphor is my go to but my hands feel so greasy. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

  • Don't let that smile fool you...I'm tired as can be as I'm working through my first week of puppy mommyhood as my friend Lea calls it. My productivity for anything outside of little Brinkley and work has been nonexistent. There have been a lot of ups and downs this week so I'm sharing that journey...
🐾
First off I have a horrible gag reflex so I'm grateful my boyfriend doesn't. But I've actually done quite well with the cleanup. Yay!
🐾
Maybe I should have checked the weather before adopting cuz it's been in the negative degrees. Brrrrr
🐾
The crate and treats have been amazing for my sanity and training the little guy. 🐾
I've already called the vet with a health issue. I'm working on getting good at getting him to take pills. No fun. 🐾
A puppy makes for a great foot warmer which I'm always on need of!
🐾
My patience is being tested but it's definitely a learning process. I'm getting better every day!
🐾
He actually is a fab napper and evenings are my favorite after he gets his crazy playing out of his system. We recoop from the day together with our laziness. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
  • I'd like to introduce this little guy to you. We adopted him yesterday and he's the sweetest puppy and quite the charmer! Right now I'm thinking Brinkley will be his name. Any You've Got Mail fans out there??
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  • Every time I fly I feel like I have a few moments of major depth. Where I see the world and myself from a different angle (literally). And I think it's normal for a lot of us to question who we are, our purpose, why we're here, our level of happiness, and so on. Well today's analysis revealed that I think we're here to grow, serve others, and spread love. It looks different for each of us, because we're all unique little weirdos in our own ways. Our contributions will all be slightly different. To be honest, I could be better. Better in all of these areas. But is the fact that I'm recognizing this proof I'm growing? I'd like to think so. What about you? What do you think about when you fly? Maybe you get a little deep on a flight or just admire the view. Tell me below! I'd ♥️to know!
