This simple fish taco recipe is inspired by the Mexican fish tacos served throughout Southern California. The cumin cabbage and the salsa can both be made ahead of time and refrigerated in covered containers, and the fish can marinate the day before cooking as well, so that when it’s dinner time you just need to cook the fish and assemble the tacos.
