Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 pounds mahi mahi (skinned, boned and cleaned) cut into 1-ounce strips
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs, lightly beaten
4 tablespoons water
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 head savoy cabbage, finely shredded
1 bunch cilantro, leaves picked
1 bunch chives, chopped
3 limes, cut into wedges for garnish
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
3 chipotles in adobo, plus 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 limes
2 mangoes, diced
4 to 5 red radishes, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the fish. Cut the pieces of fish into 1-ounce strips. Set up a breading station of flour, lightly beaten eggs with water, and seasoned panko bread crumbs. Season all with salt and pepper. Dredge the pieces of fish in flour, egg then bread crumbs. Once all the fish is breaded deep-fry in small batches in (375 degrees F) oil. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Prepare the pink chile mayonnaise. Put the chipotles in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, adobo sauce and lemon juice and continue to process until the mixture is consistent and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Prepare the mango-radish salsa. Remove the peel and pith from the limes and cut between the membranes to remove the segments. Put these "supremes" into a bowl and squeeze over the juice from the membranes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Season and refrigerate until ready to use. You can also place all of the ingredients into a food processor and puree for a smoother salsa.
  • To serve, set up the tacos "family-style". Assemble the fish in a pile on a plate; the pink chile mayonnaise in a bowl; and mango-radish salsa in another. Set a pile of shredded savoy cabbage, cilantro leaves, chopped chives and lime wedges next to the fish. Toast the corn tortillas lightly over an open flame (on your stove top) and serve.

FISH TACOS

Provided by Lourdes Castro

Categories     Fish     Marinate     Sauté     Super Bowl     Cinco de Mayo     Backyard BBQ     Seafood     Cod     Summer     Tailgating     Family Reunion     Party     Tortillas

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
About 1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
1 jalapeño, stemmed and chopped
1 pound flaky white fish (such as mahi mahi or cod), cut into 4 pieces
Salt
8 fresh corn tortillas
Mexican crema, homemade or store-bought
Fresh Tomato Salsa
2 limes, cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Marinate the Onion
  • Put the onion in a small bowl and pour in enough red wine vinegar to cover well. Set aside for at least 30 minutes or up to several weeks.
  • Marinate the Fish
  • Pour the olive oil into a small bowl and add the ancho chile powder, oregano, cumin, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño. Mix well. Place the fish on a dish and pour the marinade over it, making sure to coat the fish well on both sides. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Cook the Fish
  • Heat a nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and place in the hot pan (there is no need to add more oil). Season the fish with salt. Cook the fish for 4 minutes undisturbed, then turn over, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and flake the fish into the pan with a fork, making sure to mix in all the marinade that has stuck to the bottom of the pan. Check for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. Set aside.
  • Heat the Tortillas
  • Place four of the tortillas on a plate and sandwich them between two slightly dampened sheets of paper towel. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Place the warm tortillas in a towel-lined basket or plate and cover. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Assemble and Serve
  • To assemble the tacos, place a heaping spoonful of the marinated flaked fish onto the center of a tortilla. Top with the marinated onions. Serve accompanied by Mexican crema and salsa.
  • Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality fish. The fresher the fish, the better your tacos will taste. If you can, buy fish that was caught within the last 24 hours.
  • Choose the right type of fish. Not all fish are created equal for tacos. Some of the best fish to use include cod, tilapia, halibut, and salmon.
  • Season the fish well. Don't be afraid to use a variety of spices and herbs to season your fish. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic, paprika, and salt.
  • Cook the fish properly. The best way to cook fish for tacos is to grill it or pan-fry it. Make sure the fish is cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Use fresh, flavorful toppings. The toppings are what really make fish tacos special. Some good options include shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
  • Serve the tacos immediately. Fish tacos are best served fresh out of the fryer or grill. Don't let them sit around for too long, or they will get soggy.

Conclusion:

Fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make fish tacos that are as good as, or even better than, the ones you get at your favorite restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fish tacos a try. You won't be disappointed.
