Instructions
Creamy Kale Slaw
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well until all the vegetables are properly coated with the dressing. Set aside until ready to assemble the tacos.
Yellow Perch Tacos
- In a medium bowl, combine the fish fillets, melted butter, and Old Bay seasoning and mix well to coat.
- Get a large non-stick skillet hot over a high heat burner, about 2 minutes.
- Lay the fish pieces down in the hot pan. Turn the heat down to medium-high and let them cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, or until you see the bottom starting to caramelize.
- Use a fish spatula to flip the fish and cook on the other side for another 1 minute. Remove from the pan and set on a plate.
- Working in batches, add the tortillas to the hot pan and toast both sides for about 30 seconds per side.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon 2 tablespoons of the Fish Taco Slaw on each toasted tortilla shell, then 2 cherry tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese, and finally a piece of fish. Serve with a lime wedge, some fresh cilantro, and your favorite taco sauce.
