👨‍🍳 Instructions

  2. 2Make the Crema Sauce: Make the Spicy Crema Sauce: Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor along with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Process until smooth. If a thinner crema is desired, stream in half and half, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use. (Store any leftover sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days)
  3. 3Cook the White Fish Pieces: Coat Fish and Cook Fish: Combine the flour, spices and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Dust the fish all over with flour mixture. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish to pan and cook, for 2-3 minutes on each side (turning once), or until fish is cooked through. NOTE: Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook fish is batches as to not over-crowd the pan). Transfer fish to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4Assemble the Fish Taco Bowls: Add the slaw to a serving bowl, or individual bowls and top with fish and desired add-ins or toppings. Drizzle with crema and enjoy!
