No grill, no deep-fryer, no problemo. Our summery tacos rely on our go-to fish-cooking method—slow-roast, baby!—for tender, flaky fish every time. Because white fish (think cod or tilapia) is so mild, we took a cue from Contramar’s Red and Green Grilled Snapper and covered it in a garlicky cilantro-chile sauce before cooking. You’re not going to get the same char or crunch as you would in grilled or fried fish tacos, but a cabbage slaw (and the fact that you don’t have to deal with grilling or frying) more than makes up for it. Use any mild white fish you like, remembering that cook time varies based on the thickness of the piece. So keep an eye on the fish as it cooks and cook to the visual indicator, not the timer.
