A staple for Southern Californian surfers, especially around San Diego, fish tacos are often made with fried fish. Here, we cook flaky sole fillets in a little olive oil with our custom spice blend, bright with citrusy sumac, then load them into tortillas with cabbage, radishes, and avocado. A crunchy cucumber salad rounds out the meal.

Chef's Tip
You can turn your extra tortillas into chips: Heat the oven to 350°F. Cut the tortillas into wedges. On a sheet pan, drizzle the wedges with 1 to 2 teaspoons neutral oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Bake until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes.

Wash produce before use

1

Start prepping the garnishes; make the mint-yogurt sauce

  • Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage. Set aside for garnish.
  • Trim the ends from the radishes; cut the radishes in half, then cut the halves into thin half-moons. Set aside for garnish.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; finely chop the leaves.
  • Zest the lime. Juice half; measure out 1 teaspoon for the mint-yogurt sauce and set aside the rest for the cucumber salad. Cut half the lime into wedges for garnish.
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mint, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 1 teaspoon lime juice, and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2

Make the cucumber salad

  • Trim the ends from the cucumber; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then on the diagonal into ½-inch-thick slices.
In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, pumpkin seeds, remaining lime juice, and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3

Prep and cook the sole

  • Pat the sole dry with a paper towel; cut into 2-inch pieces and season with the sole seasoning blend, salt, and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sole and cook until opaque and lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

4

Warm the tortillas

On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the tortillas until just pliable and warmed through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, cover, and keep warm.

5

Finish prepping the garnishes and salad

  • Cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro; stir half into the cucumber salad and set aside half for garnish.

Serve

Transfer the tortillas to individual plates and top with the sole. Garnish with the cabbage, radishes, and avocado. Dollop with the mint-yogurt sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro. Serve with the cucumber salad and lime wedges.
