Simple baked fish tacos with the freshest and easiest pineapple salsa! A fabulous quick summer recipe that will satisfy everyone! We start these simple fish tacos with pineapple salsa out with some pacific cod (but you can use really any mild white fish) then coat it in a simple spice mixture of chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper then bake it to flakey perfection. We then prep the pineapple salsa that only requires 7 ingredients including: diced pineapple, diced red bell pepper, shallots, lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, salt and pepper. To prep the tacos, we load them up with dry coleslaw then baked fish chunks then the pineapple salsa and then it’s YUM TACO TIME.
