Fish tacos are to Southern Californian surf culture what hot dogs are to baseball—and often just as indulgent. For this nourishing feast, we sauté sole fillets, then pile them high with all manner of fixings, including a bright yogurt sauce. Serving the components as a DIY taco bar gets the whole family involved and makes a simple weeknight dinner feel like a party.

1

Start prepping the garnishes; make the yogurt sauce

Heat the oven to 200°F.
  • 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 thinly slice crosswise. Set aside for garnish.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; finely chop the leaves.
  • Zest the limes; cut 1 lime into wedges and set aside for garnish.
  • Juice the remaining lime (the juice will be divided between the yogurt sauce and the cucumber salad).
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mint, 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 half-moons.
In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, cucumber spice blend, and the remaining lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3

Warm the tortillas

Lay a damp kitchen towel on a sheet pan. Arrange the tortillas on one end of the towel, overlapping them slightly; cover them with the other end of the towel. Heat in the oven until warmed through and just pliable, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand, still covered, until ready to use. Be careful of the hot towel when unwrapping. While the tortillas warm, prepare the remaining garnishes.

4

Prep and cook the sole

  • Pat the sole dry with a paper towel; cut into 2-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 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.

5

Prep the remaining garnishes

  • Cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ¼-inch-thick pieces.
  • Remove any coarse stems from the cilantro; tear the cilantro, if desired.

Serve

Set out the tortillas, sole, yogurt sauce, cabbage, radishes, avocado, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and lime wedges and invite everyone to assemble their own tacos. Serve the cucumber salad on the side.

Chef’s Tip If you have time, in Step 3, instead of warming the tortillas in the oven, warm them on the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, until just pliable and warmed through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, cover, and keep warm.
