Instructions
1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Pat the fish fillets dry with kitchen paper and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the fish pieces and toss to coat evenly.
3. Place the fish in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and flaky.
4. While the fish cooks, prepare the slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, carrot, mayonnaise, Greek yoghurt, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
5. For the lime crema, whisk together the Greek yoghurt, lime juice, garlic powder, honey, and salt in a small bowl.
6. Warm the tortillas in a dry frying pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing some slaw on each tortilla, topping with crispy fish, and drizzling with lime crema. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
Cooking Tips:
For an extra crispy finish, lightly spray the fish with oil before air frying.
If using frozen fish, make sure it is fully thawed and patted dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness.
You can swap Greek yoghurt for sour cream in the crema for a richer taste.
Storage Advice:
Store leftover fish in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 180°C for 3-4 minutes to maintain crispiness.
The slaw can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days but is best enjoyed fresh.
Avoid assembling the tacos in advance, as the tortillas may become soggy. Instead, store components separately and assemble just before serving.
