Can I Use Frozen Fish for Sheet Pan Fish Tacos?

Absolutely, I've done this many times when fresh fish wasn't available. Just thaw the fillets overnight in the fridge (never at room temperature) and pat them extra dry before seasoning. Frozen fish tends to release more moisture, so I'll sometimes bake it for an extra minute or two. The texture won't be quite as perfect as fresh, but it still makes delicious tacos in a pinch.

How Do I Adjust the Spice Level?

Oh, this is where you can get creative. For milder tacos, cut the chili powder in half. Want more heat? Add a pinch of cayenne to the rub or top with sliced jalapeños. My husband loves when I drizzle sriracha mayo over his - just mix equal parts mayo and sriracha. The beauty is you can customize each taco to suit different tastes.

Can I Prep These Tacos Ahead?

You bet, I often mix the dry spices ahead and store them in a little jar. You can also chop the veggies earlier in the day. Just wait to season and bake the fish until right before serving - it only takes 15 minutes anyway. The fresher the fish, the better the tacos.

What's the Best Fish for Tacos?

I swear by cod or tilapia - they're mild, flaky, and affordable. But don't be afraid to experiment. Mahi-mahi works great too. Just avoid super oily fish like salmon for this preparation (though it's delicious in other taco recipes). The key is choosing firm fillets that won't fall apart during baking.
