  3. Cook fish in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Prepare slaw by combining green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrot, and cilantro in a large bowl; toss well.
  5. Make dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard in a separate bowl.
  6. Chill slaw in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  7. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, until soft.
