Preparation Steps
Start by seasoning the fish fillets with Cajun seasoning. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the fish until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. While the fish cooks, prepare your salsas by combining the ingredients in separate bowls.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Flake the cooked fish into bite-sized pieces. Assemble the tacos by placing some shredded cabbage on each tortilla, adding the fish, and topping with your preferred salsa. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Serve immediately with your choice of refreshing drinks for a complete and flavorful meal. These tacos are perfect for sharing and can be customized with different salsas or toppings like sour cream or sliced jalapeños.
