This easy rockfish taco recipe makes a nutrient-dense weeknight dinner that’s full of bold flavors and comes together in under 30 minutes. Rockfish, a lean whitefish native to the West Coast, is quick to cook and rich in high-quality protein and omega-3s. But don’t worry if you don’t have access to rockfish—any thin, flaky whitefish such as cod, snapper, or tilapia will work beautifully. The star of this recipe is the creamy avocado-cilantro sauce with a spicy kick, perfect for spooning over warm tortillas and your favorite taco toppings. Serve with shredded napa cabbage, cherry tomatoes, and a squeeze of lime for a nourishing meal everyone will enjoy. My children especially love adding thinly sliced mango for a burst of sweetness to their tacos—it’s the perfect contrast to the tangy sauce and spicy fish!
