Fish tacos can be filled with either fried fish (not healthy!) or grilled/baked fish (healthy!). These grilled catfish tacos are the healthy version, with a cream sauce and tangy cabbage slaw.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

1 pound catfish fillets
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
cooking spray

Crema:

¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

Slaw:

1 cup shredded red cabbage
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 ½ tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Toppings:

1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, or to taste
1 medium tomato, chopped, or to taste
1 avocado, diced, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped green onions, or to taste

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Rub catfish fillets with 1 tablespoon lime juice and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and coriander. Spray both sides of each fillet with cooking spray.
Grill catfish on the preheated grill until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
Make crema: Mix together sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and chipotle peppers in a small bowl until well blended; set aside.
Make slaw: Combine red cabbage, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl and squeeze lime juice over the top. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary; set aside.
Wrap corn tortillas in a damp paper towel. Heat in the microwave until warm, about 1 minute.
Divide grilled fish evenly over corn tortillas and serve with crema, slaw, Monterey Jack cheese, tomato, avocado, and green onions.
