Ingredients:

For the Fish:

- 1 pound (450g) white fish (tilapia, mahi-mahi, or cod), cut into small pieces

- 1/2 cup (120g) lime juice

- 1/4 cup (60g) olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced (6g)

- 1 teaspoon (5g) dried oregano

- 1/4 teaspoon (1g) cumin

- Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Slaw:

- 2 cups (200g) shredded cabbage

- 1 cup (100g) shredded carrots

- 1/4 cup (60g) mayonnaise

- 2 tablespoons (30g) lime juice

- 1 tablespoon (15g) honey

- Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Tacos:

- 8 corn tortillas (6-8 inches in diameter)

- Sliced radishes

- Chopped cilantro

- Lime wedges

- Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

- Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together lime juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the fish and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the slaw ingredients.

4. Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.

5. Assemble the tacos by placing a piece of fish on each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of slaw, some sliced radishes, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with sour cream, hot sauce, or other desired toppings.

Note: You can also bake the fish in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
