Step 1

Measure and prep all ingredients.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, chili powder, paprika and salt.

Step 3

Add the cod to the bowl and toss to coat. Seal the top with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the cod is marinating, make the cabbage slaw. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, lime juice and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Add the cabbage, jalapeño and corn to the bowl. Toss until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 6

Make the Sriracha crema, whisk together the Mexican crema, Sriracha, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Taste the crema and adjust the seasoning to your taste.

Step 7

Toast the tortillas over an open flame or on a pan and wrap in aluminum foil to keep them warm.

Step 8

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the cod and cook until opaque and flaky, about 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cod. Remove the cod from the pan and flake the fish using two forks.
