  • When selecting the fish, make sure it is firm and not too flaky.
  • When picking the salsa, choose a mild or hot option depending on your preference.

  • Substitute cod fish for salmon: The benefit of this substitution is that salmon is higher in healthy omega-3 fatty acids than cod, providing extra nutrition.
  • Substitute jalapeno havarti cheese for regular havarti cheese: The benefit of this substitution is that it adds a nice kick of spice to the tacos, making them more flavorful.

Thai Fish Tacos Replace the cumin with 1 teaspoon of curry powder and the havarti cheese with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add 1/4 cup of coconut milk to the corn salsa and top the tacos with 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts.


Jamaican Jerk Fish Tacos Replace the cumin with 1 teaspoon of Jamaican jerk seasoning and the havarti cheese with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Add 1/4 cup of pineapple juice to the corn salsa and top the tacos with 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro.


Spanish Rice: Spanish Rice is a delicious side dish that pairs perfectly with the fish tacos. It is a flavorful combination of tomatoes, garlic, onions, and spices, and it is a great way to add a bit of color and flavor to the meal. It is also a great way to add some extra vegetables to the meal!


Guacamole: Guacamole is a classic accompaniment to fish tacos, and it is the perfect way to add a creamy and flavorful element to the meal. It is made with avocados, onions, tomatoes, and spices, and it is a great source of healthy fats and vitamins. Plus, it is a great way to add some extra flavor to the tacos!
