Ingredients

4 cups thinly shredded green cabbage

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

Kosher salt

1 large red apple, finely julienned

2-3 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno

2 tablespoons lime juice

4 tablespoons avocado or olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Freshly ground black pepper

1 pound Alaska sole (flounder) fillets, thawed and patted dry

2 teaspoons Tajin seasoning, plus additional for serving

1 teaspoon ground cumin

4 tablespoons avocado or olive oil

12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed

Crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese

Step 1

Combine the cabbage and red onion with 1 teaspoon salt in a colander, set in a bowl and let stand 10 minutes to soften. Pat the cabbage very dry and combine with the apple, jalapeño, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the oil and the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Step 2

Sprinkle fish with salt, pepper, Tajin and cumin. Heat half the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat. When the oil is almost smoking add half the fish and cook 2 minutes. Gently turn and remove from the heat. Cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a platter and keep warm. Wipe out the skillet and cook the second batch of fish the same way.

Step 3

Build the tacos: On a warm tortilla, place slaw, then cooked fish.  Top with cheese and additional Tajin, if desired.
