Oven Fried Fish Tacos With Spicy Avocado Cream Sauce
Oven Fried Fish Tacos with Spicy Avocado Cream Sauce are crispy, juicy, oven-fried fish smothered in a creamy, spicy avocado sauce in a warm corn tortilla. Top with crunchy cabbage, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
In a food processor, add all ingredients and process until smooth.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the Fish
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a baking sheet and set aside.
Pat fish dry using a paper towel. Cut fish filets lengthwise, then again in half.
Place two bowls next to the baking sheet. Mix breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper together in one bowl.
In second bowl beat together egg and buttermilk.
Taking one piece of fish, coat in flour/breadcrumb mixture, lightly shaking fish to remove excess.
Then dip into buttermilk, coating fish completely.
Next coat same piece completely with breadcrumb mixture for a second time.
Place fish on baking sheet. Repeat for all pieces of fish.
Use cooking spray oil to lightly coat tops of fish with oil.
Place baking sheet on top rack in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Serve on a warm corn tortilla with a spoonful of sauce.
