Instructions
Make the Baja Fish
- To make the baja fish, clean and dry the fish, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Place the oil and chili sauce in a small bowl. Place flour in a separate bowl. Dip fish in oil and chili sauce mixture, followed by the flour.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon avocado or olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Cook fish, 3-6 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through (Note: this may need to be done in two batches depending on size of skillet). Set cooked fish aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, sea salt, and pepper.
Prepare the Sauce:
- Combine sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the Crema:
- Blend ingredients for the crema in a blender until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the Bowls:
- Pulse cabbage in a food processor until a riced slaw is formed. Transfer cabbage to a large serving bowl and add the sauce. Mix well to combine.
- Top the cabbage with baja fish, red pepper, and crema topping. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and pepitas. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Serve with tortillas.
