For The Tacos

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  2. For the cilantro lime crema, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lime zest and juice, garlic, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Whisk in 2-4 tbsp water until desired consistency is achieved. Set aside until ready to use.

  3. For the fish seasoning, combine cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
