What could I substitute for butter?

Ghee or dairy-free butter would be a good substitute here!

How long does leftover sauce for the slaw last in the fridge?

The sauce will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.

How do you know when the cod is cooked?

If the fish flakes easily with a fork, it’s done! If you want to be sure, you could use a thermometer to check. Fish should be cooked to 145 degrees F.

What other types of fish could you use?

Mahi-mahi, grouper, flounder, or halibut would also work. If you want to use salmon, these Salmon Tacos are also very delicious!

How could I grill the fish?

I love these tips from Weber Grills! In short - bring your fish closer to room temperature, use high heat, and let the fish release from the grill on it’s own so it doesn’t flake off.

Could I batter the fish and make crispy fish tacos?

I’d recommend using this recipe for Crispy Fish Tacos!
