Mexican Fish Tacos

May 21

Fish tacos are a Californian classic, taking inspiration from wonderful Mexican heat and spice. They make a truly different feast to serve for friends. If you don’t want to fire up the barbecue, the fish can easily be cooked on the griddle pan.

Method

  1. 1. To make the salsa, mix together the ingredients in a serving bowl and set aside.
  2. 2. Heat a barbecue or griddle pan to a medium-high heat. Combine the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper and ground cumin in a bowl. Dust the fish fillet with the spice mix. Brush the grill with the oil and cook the fish for 4–5 minutes on either side until cooked through.
  3. 3. Meanwhile, prepare the accompaniments for the fish by arranging the sour cream, lime wedges, avocado slices, coriander leaves, red onion and cabbage in serving bowls. Squeeze a little lime over the avocado and set everything aside on a large serving platter with a little bottle of Tabasco.
  4. 4. Carefully remove the fish from the pan and break it apart with a fork. Place the flakes in a serving bowl and season with sea salt to taste. Sprinkle with coriander leaves.
  5. 5. Add the warm tortillas to the serving platter and assemble little bits of everything in the tortillas. Wrap up and enjoy!
