Food with Mark Bittman is coming May 24. Until then, here is a simple and delicious recipe for fish tacos.

  • Cook a chopped red onion in olive oil for a minute or two.
  • When it’s soft, add a big pinch of ground cumin or coriander and some salt and pepper.
  • Keeping the heat relatively high, add a pound or so of fish fillets and stir to break them into chunks, cooking until they’re just opaque.
  • Turn off heat, squeeze lime juice over the mixture and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Warm corn tortillas and fill with the fish mixture.
  • Top with shredded cabbage, chopped tomato or tomatillos, a splash of hot sauce, and a dollop of sour cream. 
  • Any firm white fish works well here; or try crab or shrimp.
