Ingredients:

1 pound of white fish (cod or halibut work well)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 small tortillas
1 avocado
1/4 cup sour cream
1 lime
1/4 cup cilantro
1 jalapeno (optional)

Instructions:

Pick up a pound of fresh white fish from Ottawa’s favourite fresh fish market – Pelican Seafood Market & Grill!
If you’re unsure which fish to choose, our friendly fishmongers are always happy to help answer questions about the best fish for your dish!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Prep your fish by cutting them into small pieces.
You can also ask our fishmongers to prepare your fish with custom cuts right in store to save this step when you get home!
Mix chilli powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a little salt and pepper in a separate bowl.
Sprinkle your seasoning mix over the fish and stir until the fish is well-coated.
Bring out a large skillet and heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fish and fry it for about 3-4 minutes (or until golden brown).
Set aside the fish, and warm the tortillas in the oven for a few minutes.
While the tortillas are warming up, prepare your favourite tacos toppings like avocados, onions, cilantro, sour cream or jalapenos!
You can now assemble your tacos by placing the fish and toppings on your warm tortillas! Don’t forget to add some zest by squeezing a wedge of lime over the top!

There it is! Your delicious fish tacos are ready to be enjoyed. This recipe makes about eight tacos, so feel free to adjust the quantities depending on how many people you're feeding.
