A combination of heat from multiple sources, these are a favorite in our house.
1. The day before, make the creme fraiche: Mix together the whipping cream and buttermilk (plain yogurt also works). Let sit out at room temperature for ~18 hours.
2. Mix together the mayonaise, creme fraiche, sriracha, lime juice and zest. Cut the fish into chunks or strips depending on your preference, and place into the mayonaise mixture. Let sit for 30 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
3. Mix together the shredded cabbage, carrot, lime juice, rice vinegar, cumin and cayenne chile powder. Toss well and set aside for flavors to meld.
4. To finish the fish, bread the pieces with panko and either pan fry or deep fry. If you mix a little of the marinade into the panko to moisten it a bit, it makes it a little easier to pack the breading around the fish (for extra fryaliciousess). Take care not to overcook the fish-- a quick dip in hot oil is sufficient. Set on paper towels to drain.
5. To assemble the tacos, warm tortillas in a small saucepan one at a time, 30 seconds or so just to make them more pliable. Top with your favorite ingredients. Here is how mine usually looks: fish topped with some of the cabbage mixture, then avocado, garnished with a drizzle of the creme fraiche, tomatilo salsa and a dash of green tabasco. Enjoy!
Personally, I like halibut or white fish the best for this recipe (tilapia would also work well). Salmon just has better uses, and doesn't need as much to juice up the flavor.
