Sheet-Pan Fish Tacos
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3
Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and salt. Place the fish in a large shallow bowl. Pour the oil mixture over the fish and massage it into the flesh. Set aside for 10 minutes.
4
Whisk together the chili powder, garlic powder, salt, cumin, and coriander in a small bowl and set aside.
5
Dip a fillet in the spice blend and coat well. Transfer the fillet to the prepared baking sheet, and repeat until all fillets are coated.
6
Bake the fish on middle rack of oven until it is opaque in the center and just starts to flake with a fork, about 10 minutes. While the fish bakes, prepare the slaw.
7
Combine the cabbage, parsley, cilantro, green onions, olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss until well combined, and set aside until ready to serve.
8
Check to see that fish is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
Spoon portions of the fish into each corn tortilla (it's okay if the fish breaks up). Top with slaw, and if desired, add a squeeze of lime and hot sauce to taste. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pat Fish Dry for Crispy Edges 🐟Pat tilapia fillets completely dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and prevent steam buildup on the sheet pan.
- Bloom Spices in Oil First 🫒Mix your cumin, coriander, chili powder, and garlic powder with olive oil to create a paste before coating the fish—this intensifies the spice flavors and ensures even distribution.
- Undercook Slightly for Tenderness ⏱️Remove tilapia from the oven when it just begins to flake (around 10-12 minutes at 400°F) rather than waiting for it to fully separate, as carryover heat will continue cooking it to perfect moistness.
- Massage Cabbage with Salt and Lime 🥬Toss shredded red cabbage slaw with salt and lime juice 10-15 minutes before serving to soften the texture and allow flavors to meld while the fish cooks.
- Warm Tortillas on the Pan 🌮Toast corn tortillas directly on the sheet pan's empty spaces or over a burner flame for 30 seconds per side just before serving to enhance their corn flavor and improve pliability.
