Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
3 cups green cabbage, 1/4 cup cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Making the Fish Tacos
Cut the fish into ~12 to 16 equally sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
16 oz mahi mahi
In a small bowl mix all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/8 cup cornstarch
In another bowl, beat eggs and water with a fork. Set aside.
2 eggs, 1 tbsp water
In another bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and panko.
1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 1/3 cup panko
Place a clean plate or small baking sheet on the counter.
Dredge each piece of fish in the flour/cornstarch mixture.
Dip each piece of fish in the egg, coating all sides. Gently shake off excess.
Drop each piece of fish in the panko mixture, coating all sides. Move to clean plate.
Spray the fish liberally with olive oil spray, coating all sides of the fish. Allow it to sit for 3 minutes.
3 tbsp olive oil spray
Preheat the air fryer basket for 3 minutes at 380F.
Brush olive oil in the air fryer basket (or use air fryer parchment) and gently place the breaded fish in the basket without allowing them to touch.
Cook at 380F for 8 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the breading is golden brown and the internal temperature of the fish is 137F.
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Warm tortillas one at a time until lightly toasted and pliable.
8 street taco size tortillas
Fill the base of each tortilla with some of the cabbage slaw and place 1-2 pieces of crispy fish on the cabbage.
Top with mango pico, extra cilantro, sour cream sliced jalapenos, or lime wedges.
Notes
You may need to cook the fish in multiple batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
For best results, use fish that has been at room temperature for ~20 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to use your favorite type of fish. As long as the thickness of the fish is about the same, the cooking time should be similar. Do note the safe cooking temps of different kinds of fish before air frying. Mahi mahi is 137F, but other white fish and salmon is 145F.
