Pan-Seared

Baja Fish Taco

Recipe

What is Baja-Style?

Baja Style is essentially deep-fried white-fleshed fish served on two corn tortillas with shredded cabbage and a creamy white sauce. My healthier version is pan-seared with one tortilla.

1. Make Your Rub

To a small bowl, add the spices. Stir to blend everything together.

2. Season the Fish

Season both sides of cod with spice blend and gently rub in.

3. Pan-Sear Fish

Heat a large non-skillet skillet to medium-high heat & add avocado oil. Add fish to the hot pan, searing each side for 2-3 minutes. Remove cod from pan & set on a plate to rest.
