Treat the Family to Easy Fish Tacos for Supper any Night of the Week

My boys would eat Mexican food everyday without a single complaint. While I love a more diverse menu, on a busy day these fish tacos made in the oven, are a terrific easy meal option. After preparing the fish nd tossing it into the oven to bake, I prepare the toppings for a 20 minute meal.

Helpful Tips for Making Fish Tacos

• You can use cod, pollock, halibut or flounder for these tacos. Any firm white fish does best.
• To keep these light, I typically spray them with cooking spray for baking. You can drizzle them with oil as well, the choice is yours.
• You can serve fish tacos on flour or corn tortillas. See how to make Easy Homemade Flour Tortillas from Mom on Timeout.
• If time allows, whip-up the taco sauce a few hours earlier or even the night before to give the flavors time to marry.
• If you prefer, the fish can be pan fried in oil rather than baking in the oven. Depending on the thickness 1-2 minutes per side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Fry in batches.
• You can substitute a prepared taco seasoning, blackened seasoning or your favorite seafood seasoning in place of the homemade rub, if desired.
• You can dress these tacos any way you please. I typically serve them with pico de gallo, radicchio or red cabbage and a light sprinkling of queso fresco drizzled with the taco sauce.
