Think fish sticks are the stuff of boring weeknight meals? Think again. In this recipe from Bare Minimum Dinners, the slaw gets extra tanginess (and gut-health benefits to boot) when you toss fresh cabbage with sauerkraut, aka fermented cabbage.

Ingredients

  • 16 frozen fish sticks (about 1 lb.)

  • 4 cups shredded cabbage (about 12 oz.)

  • 1 cup refrigerated sauerkraut

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed

  • Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, hot sauce, sliced radishes, and cilantro sprigs, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. Bake fish sticks according to package directions.

  2. Meanwhile, combine cabbage, sauerkraut, vinegar, and salt in a medium bowl. Toss well and let sit, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve.

  3. Place 2 fish sticks on each tortilla and top with some cabbage mixture. Add sour cream, hot sauce, radishes, and/or cilantro, if desired. Serve remaining cabbage mixture on the side as a salad.
