Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the fish. In a bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Coat the cod fillets with this mixture and let them marinate for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated cod fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and flake the fish into smaller pieces if desired.
Assemble the tacos by placing some shredded cabbage on each tortilla, adding pieces of cooked cod, and topping with sliced avocado. For extra flavor, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
