The fish is oven baked so limited fat and combined with a great bunch of vegetables and sauce. Fish tacos are healthy, light and easy to digest.

November 8, 2019 at 11:57 amI made this exactly as written. I found that I wanted more seasoning on the fish. I might try some blackening seasoning next time. I would also bake the fish on a rack to ensure a more crisp finish. The Sriracha mayo combination was delicious. I also made Amy’s Cilantro Lime Cream and it was a real hit. Thanks for the recipe. MJB
