Roasted Cod Tacos

Sharing is caring!

We have been making tacos, a lot, the past few months.  They have become a regular go-to meal when we need something quick and easy.  Just about anything can be wrapped up in a tortilla and called a taco.  This recipe for roasted cod tacos just happens to be an all-time favorite over here.

Since we have been loving tacos so much, we have decided to start a regular feature on Chez Us, called Taco Tuesday.  Yes, we have been making tacos that often.  I think our last trip to Mexico really inspired us to make start making them at home on a regular basis.  After all, they are pretty simple, not to mention we can be very creative with fixings.  That being said, we are going to try really hard to post a new taco recipe once a week or at least every other week.  There is a widget off to the right side of the site showcasing other taco recipes as well as a Pinterest Page dedicated to the love of the taco.

Whenever I see true Alaskan cod at the market, I stock up as it comes in handy for easy dinners.  Not only do I get a kick out of salting it for later use, but it is great in this recipe for roasted cod tacos.  Cod has a mild flavor that is not overly fishy, and other ingredients such as this spicy slaw go really well with it.  Roasting cod in the oven, with simply salt and pepper, makes this an easy go-to recipe.  No fuss of getting the grill ready;  saving those tacos for summertime.  In fact, with this recipe, you can have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes!
