Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Mix together the honey, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and juice and zest of 1 lime in a small bowl to make a glaze. Set aside.
- Put the broccoli slaw in the bottom of a baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss. Scatter over the sliced sweet peppers and chiles. Top the slaw and peppers with the cod fillets. Season the cod with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the chipotle glaze over the fish and around the baking dish over the slaw.
- Roast until the fish is cooked through and flaky, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately squeeze over the juice of the other lime. Flake the cod into large chunks and sprinkle over the chopped cilantro.
- To build the tacos, place a couple chunks of cod into each taco shell. Top with a pinch of slaw, some sliced avocado, sour cream and hot sauce. Garnish with a lime wedge and squeeze over a little juice before eating.
SOUTHERN-STYLE FISH TACOS WITH CRUNCHY SLAW AND CHIPOTLE MAYO
GINA Fish tacos-you gotta love them. But of course seafood has always been my thing. The key to this dish lies in the freshness of your coleslaw. You can always use store-bought, but our recipe is so quick, and making it fresh adds a crispness that I'm not too sure store-bought can provide. Also, the jalapeño pepper in the slaw, combined with the chipotle mayo, makes our slaw smoky and spicy! I think catfish works better than other fish, because it has a good way of standing up to the heat of the frying pan . . . plus, I just love the flavor. This may be because our family had a tradition of eating catfish every Friday night for dinner. (We were probably making fish tacos before they got a fancy reputation.) And I have this thing about wraps-because you can pile everything into them and then just munch it down.

Steps:
- For the slaw: Whisk the lime juice, oil, honey, and salt together in a bowl. Add the green and red cabbage, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, and let the bowl chill in the fridge for 1 hour, so the flavors can develop.
- For the chipotle mayo: Blend the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and honey in a food processor until smooth. Remove from processor, and set aside until ready to serve.
- For the catfish: Heat 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. (For tips on deep-frying, see page 19.)
- Slice the catfish into 1-inch-thick fingers on a diagonal, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce on a rimmed plate. Stir together the cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper on another rimmed plate, and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches, dip the catfish into the buttermilk batter, then dredge it through the cornmeal mixture, shaking off the excess.
- When the oil is hot, gently drop the catfish into the Dutch oven and fry until golden brown, working in batches, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Remove to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray when done, and immediately season with salt and pepper.
- Place the tortillas on a plate, and wrap the plate with damp paper towels. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. (Alternatively, if you have a gas stove, turn the heat to medium and place a corn tortilla directly over the flame, to toast for about 15 seconds on each side. This will soften the tortilla and give it a delicious smoky flavor.)
- To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of fried catfish onto the center of a warmed tortilla. Top with the crunchy slaw, and top with chipotle mayonnaise. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Slice the catfish into 1-inch-thick fingers on the diagonal. Brush with a few tablespoons olive oil on each side, and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the catfish 2 to 3 minutes per side. Assemble the tacos as directed.
CATFISH TACOS WITH CILANTRO LIME SLAW AND CHIPOTLE CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Catfish Tacos:
- For the chipotle cream sauce: Put all the ingredients in a blender, except the heavy cream and salt and pepper. Blend well. Remove from the blender to a mixing bowl and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. All the cream may not be needed. The correct consistency, is like a crema. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add more chipotle in adobo for more spice, if desired. Cover and refrigerate.
- For the slaw: Add the cabbages to a mixing bowl. Toss with the carrot, onion, cilantro, olive oil and lime juice, to taste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well, cover and refrigerate.
- For the catfish balls: In a hot skillet, over medium heat, add the butter, onion, jalapeno, and garlic. As it is cooking, add a pinch of salt, cracked pepper, paprika and cumin. Saute until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Heat enough peanut oil in a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
- Remove any silver skin from the fillets. Pulse the catfish in the food processor until it is chopped, about 30 seconds. You don't want to puree the fish, just chop it into small chunks. Put the fish in a mixing bowl and add the cilantro, Creole mustard, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and Jack cheese. Add the cooled onion mixture to the bowl along with another pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently with a spoon, then gently mix in 1 cup of the panko bread crumbs. The consistency will still be wet, but still formable for the catfish balls. Put the remainder of the bread crumbs into a bowl. Scoop out the catfish mixture using a 2 tablespoon-size scoop and form into a ball shape. Don't make the catfish balls to be too big, they won't cook all the way through.
- Roll the balls in the panko bread crumbs, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Carefully drop them into the hot oil and fry in batches of 5 or 6 depending on your fryer. Do not crowd. Fry the balls for about 3 to 4 minutes. They are done when they are slightly more than golden brown. Remove from the oil and let cool on a paper towel lined sheet pan. Check the first batch to make sure they are cooked through. Repeat the process with the remaining fish mixture.
- Remove the chipotle sauce and the slaw from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature to remove some of the chill. Heat the tortillas. Stack 7 or 8 tortillas and wrap in a damp kitchen or paper towel and microwave for about 15 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas. They can also be wrapped in foil and heated in the oven.
- Add 2 or 3 catfish balls, depending on the size, to a tortilla, and slightly crush them. Some people tear them completely apart, it is up to you. Top with a little grated Jack cheese, chipotle cream sauce and slaw. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy with a nice cerveza.
GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME DRESSING
I came up with this recipe when I couldn't find good directions for grilled fish tacos. I liked the chipotle-lime combination in a dip I once tried so I imitated it here. Choose toppings to suit your taste, or include typical accompaniments such as salsa fresca, cabbage, a squeeze of lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

FISH TACOS WITH CILANTRO CHIPOTLE SLAW
I love fish tacos, and since my family has been trying to eat a little healthier, this seemed like a good way to get some fish into our diet without all the extra garbage that usually goes along with eating fish here in the south (fish fries and the like). The Marinade is basically the same as my recipe# 241864 but with some proportions scaled back.I used halibut, but any firm white fish will do. I think next time, I'm going to try Gulf Red Snapper. I also pan seared the fish since I live in a high rise apartment and can't grill, but if you want to grill the fish, I'm sure it will be even better. The slaw is kind of like combining the traditional cabbage topping and the cilantro and creme all into one easy and tasty scoop.

Steps:
- Mix the marinade ingredients together in a blender. Except the fish, as we're not making cat food.
- Pour the marinade into a big zip top bag with the fish and let it sit for about 30 minutes at the most.
- In a food processor, combine all of the slaw ingredients except the cabbage. Spin it up until you have a smoothish dressing.
- Pour the slaw dressing over the cabbage and toss to combine. Let it chill in the fridge until dinner is ready. Normally I would make any coleslaw a day ahead of time, but for this, I still want a good crunch to the cabbage.
- Mix the Masa, the salt and 1 cup of the water in a bowl by hand.
- Only add enough of the remaining water tot he dough so it is workable enough to form a golf ball sized ball that can be flattened out without it crumbling apart.
- Divide the dough into 16 equally sized balls.
- Break out your tortilla press and flatten each dough ball into a small round. Or if you're like me, break out the tortilla press, then break the press after the third tortilla and resort to parchment paper, a heavy pan with a smooth bottom and a rolling pin.
- Cook the tortillas on a med-high hot dry pan or an electric griddle for about 1 minute per side. You'll have to eyeball the time depending on how hot your "med-high" is.
- I followed Alton Browns tip on keeping my tortillas hot and ready by wrapping them in a tea towel sitting on a heating pad. Yes, I am that much of a geek that I have a heating pad in the kitchen.
- Get a large non stick pan heated over medium ready with half the oil.
- Place your fish in the pan, careful not to crowd the pan, and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. This is really up to you and how "done" you like your fish and also the type and thickness of the fish you're cooking. I look for just opaque in the center.
- Extract the first batch and cover with foil while the second batch cooks.
- I like the two tortilla shingle method myself with the fish on the bottom and the slaw on top. You can throw some diced tomatoes on top or maybe a squeeze of lime if you think it's necessary. I like to keep it simple.
