Garnishes

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
- Pull the fish out the refrigerator at least 20 minutes prior to cooking. This will increase the temperature of the fish so it cooks more evenly in the oven.
- Place the fish in a baking dish and brush with olive oil. Then season the fish with salt and pepper.
- Rub the five spice powder on the fish and place it in the oven to roast for about 10 minutes. Typically, you should cook fish 8-10 minutes for each inch of thickness.
- Prepare the slaw while the fish is cooking. Place the apples, cabbage, cilantro and sliced green onions into a large bowl.
- Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and olive oil. Toss the dressing with the cabbage and then spinkle with sesame seeds.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, honey and Sriracha
- When the fish is done, let it cool for about five minutes. Flake the fish for the tacos and assemble with slaw and crema. Load the garnish as desired!
