Instructions

  1. Step 1 Prepare slaw

    Whisk mayonnaise, orange juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined in a medium mixing bowl. Add jicama, cabbage, green onion and mango; stir to coat.  Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend.

  2. Step 2 Prepare cod

    Slice Alaska Cod fillets into 1-inch thick finger-like pieces; sprinkle evenly with salt and jerk seasoning.  Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray.  Place half of the fish pieces in the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until browned.  Turn the pieces over and continue to cook about 3 minutes.  Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.  Remove cooked pieces from the pan and wrap in foil to keep warm.  Cook second batch and place in foil to keep warm.

  3. Step 3 Heat tortillas

    Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave 30-seconds or until warmed through and pliable.

  4. Step 4 Assemble and serve

    Divide Maple Mango Slaw evenly among warmed tortillas.  Top with fish pieces and serve with lime wedges.
