  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1/4 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 head of red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Spread fish on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. While the fish bakes, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, red cabbage, cilantro, and red onion.
