When spring is in the air, the first thing I want to make for my family is fish tacos. It’s the perfect recipe for a warm day. They are best eaten outside and the whole family can choose what they want to put in their taco. It’s interactive, delicious and enjoyable for everyone. I would recommend adding some pickled or fresh jalapenos for the people in your family who like chilli.
Fish Tacos
Ingredients
Coriander salsa
- 1/3 bunch of coriander
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- salt to taste
Avocado and cucumber salad
- 1 1/2 avocados cut into cubes
- 1 cucumber diced
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 small handful of coriander leaves
- salt to taste
cabbage side
- 1 small Cabbage finely sliced
- Juice of 1/2 a lime
- salt to taste
Fish
- 400 grams firm white fish cut into strips
- 3 tbsp flour- whole wheat, spelt or gluten free
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp oil for frying
to serve
- Corn or flour tortillas
- Mayonnaise or aioli to serve
Instructions
- To make the salsa simply blend all of the ingredients using a stick blender or food processor.
- Prepare the cabbage in a small bowl and dress with lime juice and a pinch or two of flakey salt. I recommend tossing the cabbage well to coat the juice and even giving it a little massage.
- In a separate bowl add all of the avocado and cucumber salad ingredients and toss to combine.
- Cut the fish into roughly 6 cm pieces. Toss in a bowl with the salt, turmeric, paprika and flour.
- In a heavy based fry pan. On medium heat add the oil. Once the oil is hot, cook the fish for 2-3 minutes each side. This will depend on the thickness of the fish. You want the fish to pull apart and not be rubbery.
- Warm the tacos on a dry fry pan or in a sandwich press and wrap in a tea towel to keep warm.
- To serve- Lay out all of your taco condiments and ingredients and everyone can make their own. Kids love it!!!
Notes
To serve as a puree combine cooked fish, avocado and coriander salsa and blend or mash.
