Charred, paprika-crusted fish tumbling out of warm tortillas, glistening mango salsa catching the light, with cool yoghurt and shocks of green coriander on top.
Ingredients
Serves 4- 600 gcod fillets, cod, tilapia, or pollock
- 2 tspsmoked paprika
- 1 tspground cumin
- ½ tspgarlic powder
- 2 tbspolive oil
- salt and black pepper
- 1large ripe mango, finely diced
- 2jalapeños, finely diced
- ½red onion, finely diced
- 15 gfresh coriander, chopped
- 2limes, juiced
- 8small flour tortillas, about 30g each
- 100 gshredded red cabbage
- 160 gplain yoghurt or soured cream (optional)
Method
- Make the salsa first so the flavours mingle: tumble the diced mango, chopped jalapeños, red onion, and coriander into a bowl. Squeeze over the lime juice, season with a good pinch of salt, and leave to sit for 10 minutes while you crack on with the fish.
- Mix the smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic powder with the olive oil to make a loose paste. Pat the fish dry, then rub the spice mixture all over the fillets. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over high heat until smoking. Lay the fish in and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until a deep, caramelised crust forms, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flesh flakes easily. Lift onto a board and break into rough, generous chunks.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for about 30 seconds a side until pliable and lightly toasted in patches. Stack them under a tea towel to keep soft.
- Fill each tortilla with cabbage, fish and mango salsa. Add the optional yoghurt or soured cream if using.
- Serve straight away with any remaining salsa spooned alongside. The coriander and lime juice are in the salsa.
