1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2

Set cod fillets in a casserole dish, drizzle with olive oil and 1 tablespoon lime juice, then season with cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
3

Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes; remove from the oven and use 2 forks to break the fish apart in the baking dish.
4

Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix sour cream, garlic, lime zest, 1/4 teaspoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt for the crema; in another bowl, mix cabbage, 1/4 teaspoon lime juice, and vinegar for the cabbage slaw.
5

Warm the tortillas in the microwave on default mode with a damp paper towel draped over them for 30 to 45 seconds.
6

Assemble the tacos by layering each tortilla with cod, cabbage slaw, crema, and tomato; serve hot.
