- Salsa

How to make baked fish tacos?
First gather your ingredients:
- 1 lb. white fish (Tilapia, Halibut works well)
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp Old bay seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Place your fish fillets on the tin foil.
Combine cumin, chili powder, Old Bay and garlic salt in a small bowl and mix. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the top of the fish.
Cook fish for 10-15 minutes — you will know it is done when it becomes an opaque white and flakes easily with a fork.
Assemble your tacos! Use any combination of your favorite ingredients mixed with gently flaked pieces of fish. If you’re serving a large group, try assembling a “taco bar” with lots of options for toppings that your guests can assemble themselves
