Instructions:

Β 

For the Jamaican Jerk Sauce:

  1. Add the ingredients for the Jamaican Jerk Sauce to your Food Processor and blend to your desired consistency. You can choose to keep it chunky or puree until smooth.

Β 

For the Fish:

  1. Once your Jerk Sauce is ready, preheat your oven to 425F. Set your fish on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cover the Fish in the Jerk Sauce on both sides. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Β 

For the Mango Coleslaw:

  1. Mix the mustard, honey, lime juice, olive oil and hot sauce until combined in a medium bowl.
  2. In a larger bowl, toss together the cabbage, mango, jalapeΓ±o, carrot, garlic and almonds.
  3. Drizzle the sauce on top of the veggies and combine well. You can place it in the fridge to cool until ready to serve.

Β 

Assembling your tacos:

  1. Before assembling your tacos, I like to put my taco shells in the oven at 375 degrees to let them get crispy for a few minutes. You can use soft shell tacos if you prefer.
  2. Add the fish, coleslaw and garnish to your taco shells and enjoy each flavorful bite!
