Baked Cod Tacos

30-minute dinners are my go-to during busy weeks, and these fresh and vibrant cod tacos with a simple cabbage slaw are the perfect dish to add to your meal rotation. The cod is seasoned with a homemade spice blend, baked and assembled in almond flour tortillas with cabbage slaw, avocado, jalapeno and hot sauce.

It’s an easy dinner that the whole family will love!

These tacos are the ideal dinner recipe since you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time for an easy meal prep. Simply bake the cod, prep the coleslaw, and assemble your tacos when ready to eat.

I love to serve these with fresh squeezed lime juice and extra hot sauce. For an added crisp, you can pop them in the air-fryer before serving.

Really easy to make, nice flavor with the spice rub. We did use store made coleslaw since we didn’t have the veg on hand to make it. Used corn tortillas too.
