Instructions
- For the slaw: whisk together all slaw dressing ingredients in a large bowl and add cabbage. Toss to coat. Chill for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
- For the salsa: combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Lightly toss together. Rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- For tacos: combine flour, salt, and seasoning in a large bowl. Lightly dredge fish in flour mixture.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add fish to hot oil and fry on all sides until golden brown and crunchy. Do not overcrowd the pan – work in batches as needed. Add more oil to the pan as needed. Remove fish to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a sprinkle of salt.
- While fish cooks, stir together all ingredients for the sauce. Taste and adjust as you like.
- Toast tortillas and assemble tacos with fish, aioli sauce, and slaw. Garnish with mandarin salsa and finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
