Me:Mo Cooks: Cod and Salmon Fish Tacos Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 2):
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 cod fillets
- 1/4 tsp each: Cajun seasoning, ground coriander, garlic powder, paprika
- Olive oil
- 6 mini tortillas
- 1/4 head lettuce, sliced
- 1/2 red cabbage, pickled (see instructions) – 120ml Red wine vinegar, 120ml water, 1tsp salt, 1 tsp black peppercorns
- 5 spring onions, chopped
- Fresh coriander, to taste
- 1 squeeze of lime
- 1 avocado, smashed
- 1/2 tsp peri peri salt
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 squeeze of lime
- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 tsp each: cumin, cayenne pepper
- Fresh coriander, salt, and pepper to taste
Method
- First, on a chopping board, slice the red cabbage, lettuce and spring onions and dice the tomatoes.
- Next, pickle the cabbage, add red wine vinegar, sugar and black peppercorns and leave for an hour minimum – longer if you want it completely pickled!
- Slice the fish into chunks and marinade with the olive oil, Cajun, garlic powder, ground coriander and paprika about an hour before.
- Once you’re happy with the pickle, make the salsa by combining all the salsa ingredients and set aside.
- Fry the fish in a pan with olive oil, for about 7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Whilst the fish is cooking, make the guacamole by smashing the avocado with the other ingredients.
- Once the fish is done, assemble the tacos by adding the chopped lettuce first, then the fish, then the rest of the garnish ingredients, salsa, and guacamole.
