Jump to Recipe

A healthier alternative to the usual white fish tacos, traditionally battered and fired in oil with coleslaw. This recipes skips the frying but still has the cripy-ness from using cornmeal. Paired with a much lighter 3-ingredient coleslaw.

It’s a super quick and easy 15-minute recipe that will have you eating in no time!
