Step 1
Pat fish dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Spread panko on a plate. Press each fillet into panko, coating both sides evenly.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Fry fish 3 minutes per side without moving until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Toss shredded cabbage with lime juice and a pinch of salt until wilted slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Warm tortillas in the skillet 30 seconds per side. Flake fish, divide among tortillas, top with slaw, salsa, and crema. Serve immediately.
