Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange 1.5 lbs white fish fillets. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Brush this spice mixture evenly over the fish.
- Step 2: Bake the fish for 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
- Step 3: While fish bakes, prepare the slaw by combining 2 cups shredded green cabbage, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp minced chipotle in adobo sauce, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro in a bowl. Toss well.
- Step 4: Warm 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side. To assemble, break the baked fish into chunks, place on tortillas, and top with generous spoonfuls of chipotle lime slaw. Serve immediately.
