Directions

Christina Perozzi from beerforchicks.com suggests an Allagash White from Portland, Maine. It's an ale brewed with coriander and bitter orange peel which works perfectly with the tacos, harmonizing with the spices and also providing herbaceousness and citrus!

Ingredients

Fish:

Mayo:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
  • 8 sprigs fresh mint
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 lime, juiced, plus extra if necessary
  • Kosher salt and pepper

Tacos:

  • 10 corn tortillas, warmed
  • 1/4 head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
  • Pickled banana pepper strips, optional
  • 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges

For the fish: In a bowl, combine the oil, spices, salt and pepper. Add the fish and make sure each piece is coated with the marinade.

For the mayo: Put the mayonnaise, garlic, mint, cumin, and lime juice in a food processor. Whizz until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if necessary. Pour into a bowl and set aside.

Grab a large, nonstick saute pan and warm it gently over medium heat; no need to add oil since the fish is already coated in oil. Once warm (test by sprinkling some water into the pan, if it sizzles and evaporates, you're ready), place each piece of fish in the pan. It should sizzle gently but firmly when it hits the pan. Cook until cooked through, but still moist, about 3 minutes per side. The fish should flake easily with a fork. Don't overcook your fish! It'll taste awful!

Remove the fish from the pan and serve immediately with warmed tortillas. I put a light layer of cabbage on the bottom, then the sauce, a few chunks of fish, the scallions, a couple of slices of banana pepper, and a squeeze of lime. And once the fish is finished off, you can do what I do, and make cabbage tacos - everything except the fish! So good!

    I found this recipe when looking for a way to combine tilapia with some curry-currant brown rice I had cooked the other day. This recipe is super easy, super tasty. I substituted greek yogurt in place of the mayo. And I didnt have fresh mint on hand, so I used some loose leaf mint tea. In place of the cabbage condiment, I used my curry-currant rice. I also tossed the cuts of fish in some rice flour, after they were seasoned with the spices. This gave them a little extra texture. A keeper. I'll revisit this one again and again.

    I have made these tacos several times with tilapia. I omitted the mint but I am going to try adding it the next time. I make these with mango salsa and sweet potato fries. So good!!!
