It’s halfway through the nine days and while I’m pretty stocked up with dairy dinner ideas from Dairy Made Easy, we can all use some more parve ideas too.  My sister R. makes this fish, and I thought it would make the perfect crunchy fish for tacos. You can also make them as fish sticks/fingers.

Ingredients

Crunchy Fish

  • 3-4 fillets tilapia

  • 1/2 cup flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 egg

  • 2 teaspoons mustard

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • dash of Gefen Black Pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 cup Gefen Bread Crumbs

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • oil, for frying

Tomato Salad

  • 1 large tomato or 2 plum tomatoes, finely diced

  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Red Cabbage Slaw

  • 1 (8-ounce) bag shredded purple cabbage

  • 3 tablespoons Gefen Mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1 tablespoon oil

  • squirt of mustard

For Serving

  • 4 to 6 tortilla wraps

Directions

For the Fish

1.

In a shallow bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Whisk egg and mustard together in a second shallow bowl. In a third shallow bowl, season bread crumbs with garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Dredge fish in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs.

2.

Heat oil in a skillet and fry fish until crispy on both side.

For the Salads

1.

In a medium bowl, combine tomato, scallion, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, water, oil, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire, and salt. Mix with the cabbage and let sit 10 minutes.

To Serve

1.

Warm up the tacos in oven, or place directly over an open flame for 30 seconds on each side.

2.

To assemble the tacos, fill each taco wrap with fish cut into strips. Place cabbage and tomato salads over. Drizzle with additional garlic mayo if you like your sandwiches with lots of dressing.

Tips:

If you like the idea of making the fish tacos but aren’t looking to cook, you can use this recipe as inspiration. Use store-bought coleslaw or combine red cabbage mix with store-bought Caesar or garlic mayo dressing. Use ready fish from fish store or frozen fish sticks.
