Notes
- Fish: This recipe works well with cod, sole, halibut, or any other firm and mild-tasting white fish.
- Crema: You can also use sour cream, or a vegan sour cream if dairy-free.
- Mayo: Use mayonnaise as a binder to keep the coating from falling off the fish.
- Cabbage: Use a bag of mix for the slaw.
