Fresh Fish Tacos with Savory Coleslaw Recipe

This is a lightened-up version of a Baja favorite. Make sure to use the freshest, sustainably-fished varieties available. If you can’t find halibut or mahi mahi, try Pacific cod or tilapia.  For added crunch and color, pile a plate high with garnishes, including sliced radishes, jalapeños, limes, thinly sliced bok choy or endive, and fresh Mexican crema or sour cream.
