Instructions
Coleslaw salad
- In a large bowl whisk together vegenaise, pickle juice, lime juiced, sriracha, salt and pepper until combined. Add in the coleslaw mix and chopped kale and toss well. Set aside in the fridge to marinate and soften while you prepare your fish. This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Avocado Hemp Crema
- In a high speed blender, add in all the ingredients and blend until smooth (roughly 30 sec). Serve right away or refrigerate in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
Fish
- Rinse and pat dry fish fillets. Slice each fillet into 4 large chunks and set aside on a paper towel.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour, baking powder and spices. Next, add in soda water and vinegar and whisk until a thick batter forms.
- On medium-high, heat the coconut oil in a large pan.
- Lightly coat each piece of fish with the remaining ¼ cup of flour and dunk into the batter. Fry on the hot pan for 3-4 min per side. Once cooked, set aside on a plate lined with paper towel.
- Warm the corn tortillas on a hot pan for a couple minutes and assemble the tacos starting with the coleslaw, then the battered fish, and finish by drizzling the avocado hemp crema on top.
