Smoked paprika is a Spanish version of paprika that smokes the peppers before drying them, which infuses a hint of smokiness into each bite. If you can’t find it, you can use sweet paprika. But it adds great flavor here! If you buy a jar, you can use it up with these Best Smoked Paprika Recipes.
Tilapia: has a great mild flavor and buttery texture Cod: the flavor is even milder! Cod is a great option here Mahi mahi: also tasty: a bit meatier and richer
Salt the fish first, then add the dry rub. Pat the fish dry, then sprinkle it with salt first. This makes sure the fish is well seasoned. Add the fish taco seasoning as a dry rub and pat it to cover the fish. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F. Place the fish on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, until tender. Broil for 2 minutes (optional). If you’d like, you can broil for a few minutes until the top is lightly browned.
When you store the seasoning, place it in a sealed jar and store in a cool, dry place: like with your other spices and seasoning blends. It should last about 1 year.
Fish Taco Sauce: A creamy, zingy sauce that works on just about anything. Fish Taco Slaw: A quick and easy slaw that’s simple to make while the fish bakes.
