“Searching for a lighter substitute to traditional fried fish tacos, I came up with this entree,” Jennifer Palmer notes from Rancho Cucamonga, California. “It’s been a hit with friends and family. The orange roughy fillets are so mild that even non-fish eaters are pleasantly surprised by these tasty tacos.”

Delicious! I served these with the Pineapple Salsa and tortilla chips on the same page.

My family really likes these tacos. I used broccoli slaw rather than coleslaw mix.

Way too lemon pepper. We didn't care for the flavour at all. My husband's finished the meal and said "hmmm, there's not too many things I don't like."

Family favorite! We've made this recipe dozens of times. Healthy and delicious. Sometimes I will place the breaded fish on a baking sheet and bake at 400 until the fish is cooked. It gives me time to assemble the rest of the ingredients while the fish is baking.

I love these tacos! My boyfriend used to live in California and would eat fish tacos all the time. He missed them, so I found this recipe with both love!

i've made these using frozen fish stick and flour tortillas and they are great.
