  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat fish dry and place on the baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  5. In a bowl, mix yogurt or sour cream, lime juice, and garlic powder to make the sauce.
  6. Warm the tortillas until soft.
  7. Break the cooked fish into chunks.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the fish to keep it moist and flaky.
  • Pat fish dry before seasoning for better texture.
  • Prepare toppings ahead for quick assembly.
  • Store fish and toppings separately to avoid sogginess.
  • Reheat fish gently before serving leftovers.
