These Crispy Baked Fish Tacos are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried fish tacos. With a crunchy panko crust and fresh toppings, they are a perfect weeknight meal for the whole family.


Ingredients

Scale

Fish:

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia)

Breading:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Additional:

  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the fish: Pat the fish dry and cut into taco-sized strips.
  3. Breading station: Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko mixed with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Coat the fish: Dredge each fish piece in flour, dip in egg, and coat with seasoned panko.
  5. Bake: Place the coated fish on the baking sheet, spray lightly with cooking spray, and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Warm tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  7. Assemble: Assemble the tacos with baked fish, shredded cabbage, cilantro, red onion, and avocado slices. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, broil the fish for the last 1–2 minutes.
  • Add a drizzle of crema or your favorite taco sauce for more flavor.
