Ingredients

Barramundi fillets (1 lb)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Taco seasoning (2 tablespoons)
Corn tortillas (8 small)
Red cabbage (2 cups, shredded)
Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
Lime (1, juiced)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
Greek yogurt (1/2 cup)
Avocado (1, ripe)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
Place the barramundi fillets on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with taco seasoning, ensuring all sides are coated.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, prepare the cabbage slaw. In a bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss well to combine.
For the creamy avocado sauce, in a blender, combine the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, cooking each side for about 30 seconds until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, spread a generous spoonful of the creamy avocado sauce on each warm tortilla. Top with a portion of the cooked barramundi and a handful of the cabbage slaw.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
