This Asian Fish Tacos recipe comes together in just 30 minutes! These grilled fish tacos are fresh, healthy and utterly delicious!
Our Summer here has been a hot one! It’s been a record low for rain with a grueling consistent 85-95 degree weather. But it sure has done absolute wonders for our garden!
In addition to those beauties below, we’ve got beets, kohlrabi, collard greens, carrots, green beans, black eyed peas, crookneck squash, radishes, 10 different tomato varieties, sweet corn, acorn squash, spaghetti squash (42 of them, yikes!), pumpkins, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, celery, watermelons, cantaloupes, and more!
Asian Fish Tacos Recipe
When it’s hot outside spending a lot of time over the stovetop or in front of a hot oven isn’t fun. These tacos require just a brief grilling time for the fish and prep time is minimal. Just chop the veggies and grill the fish and whisk together the refreshing vinaigrette.
Note: If you don’t have an outdoor grill you can grill the fish in the oven.
To assemble the tacos, pile the fish on the taco shells with some slaw and avocado and serve with some extra slaw on the side. That’s it, a very simple, tasty and healthy Summer meal. Serve these Asian Fish Tacos as part of a main course or as an appetizer.
Enjoy!

Asian Fish Tacos
Ingredients
- For the Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- For the Slaw:
- 3 cups shredded cabbage , purple and/or Napa
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced radish
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- For the Tacos:
- 8 corn tortillas , warmed
- 12 ounces white fish, lightly salted and grilled (on barbecue or in the oven)
- 1 avocado , sliced
Instructions
- To grill the fish: Heat the grill to medium-high. Be sure the grates are clean and well-oiled or the fish will stick. Place the fish on the hot grill and grill on each side for 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. The internal temperature of the fish should register between 130-135°F. Let the fish rest for a couple of minutes. Alternately, cook the fish in the oven: Preheat to 450 F, place fish on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness.
- To make the dressing: Whisk the rice vinegar, tamari, honey and sesame oil together in a large bowl. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, radish, cilantro and toss to coat.
- To serve, top the warm tortillas with fish, slaw and slices of avocado. Serve immediately with some extra slaw on the side.

I love anything Asian and regularly use rice vinegar. These NAKANO vinegars look great, would love to try them. During the Summer I do a lot of outdoor recreational activities to stay fit (biking, rafting, golfing, kayaking).
It’s ridiculously hot here in the summers, so I run on my treadmill and experiment with as many vegetable recipes that I can find. Could you provide a little detail on cooking the fish? I’m the least experienced with seafood.
Absolutely, Valerie, I just included those instructions!
Thank you for the assist, and for the giveaway!
You’re welcome, Valerie! :) Thanks for participating!
Summer’s my season to get out and moving, plenty of outdoor activities, including gardening. These tacos look great and I’d love to try those rice vinegars!
I eat as many in season fruit and veggies as possible as well as some exercising.
LOVE the Asian twist on these tacos! Tacos are one of my favourites and I’m marrying a Chinese man, so I’m fairly sure we have all the ingredients in the house already! :)
Perfect, Annie, you’re ready to go! :)
Fish recipe sounds delicious! To stay healthy during the summer I eat lots of yummy vegetables from my garden and also drink lots of water.
LOVE fish tacos and I seriously envy your vegetable garden! I use rice vinegar regularly but have never tried these NAKANO seasoned ones, they sound so good! During the summer I’m always careful to use sunscreen when I’m outside and I drink lots of water.
This is the best our garden has ever done, Sandra! A little TOO good though – we have zucchini and spaghetti squash growing out of our ears! ;)
These tacos look so good and I would love to try all those delicious vinegars! During the summer I always make it a point to drink plenty of water.
