Preparation Steps

  • Prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Bake. Place the fish fillets in a baking dish. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Saute the aromatics. While the fish is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the diced onions and cook over medium-high heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Mix in the garlic and continue to cook for 20 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Whisk in the white wine, dijon mustard, lime zest, and lime juice; cook until reduced by half, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add chili powder, whisk in the whipping cream, and continue to cook and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Warm the tortillas. Set a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla at a time, flipping to warm both sides.
  • Assemble. Break up the cooked fish with a fork and place it in a warm tortilla. Top it with cabbage slaw or salad greens. Add the creamy lime mustard sauce and serve.

Notes

While the fish is baking, I like to get started with preparing my toppings. So many fresh toppings go well with fish tacos! My favorites are bold flavors without too much spice, like guacamole, diced mango, chopped fresh cilantro, roasted corn, pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of cheese, please!
