These easy fish tacos have become my go to weeknight dinner because they come together in just 50 minutes and taste like you spent way more time in the kitchen than you actually did. The star here is that bright, refreshing mango pineapple slaw that completely transforms simple cod into something special. Cod is such a lean protein that's gentle on your wallet, and it's packed with selenium and B vitamins that keep your energy up. The combination of tropical fruit with fresh cilantro and a kick of jalapeno creates this perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy that my whole family devours. Once you make this once, you'll be rotating it into your regular dinner lineup.
