1-Getting started with this fish tacos recipe is as easy as following a few straightforward steps, and you’ll love how it all comes together in no time. First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner to set the stage for baking the fish. This method keeps things simple and minimizes cleanup, which is great for busy days.

2-Next, combine the cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, then season both sides of the fish evenly for a flavorful base. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and place a small dot of unsalted butter on each piece to add richness as it cooks. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the fish is flaky, and if you like, broil for 3-5 minutes to brown the edges just a bit.

3-Assembling Your Tacos While the fish bakes, whisk together the sauce by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, and sriracha in a bowl until smooth and creamy. In another step, toast the tortillas briefly on a dry skillet over medium-high heat to make them warm and pli European. To finish-parallel, assemble the tacos by placing the baked fish on each tortilla, then add toppings like shredded cabbage, sliced avocados, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and cotija cheese, and drizzle with the sauce before serving with lime wedges.
