Equipment
- 1 blender
- 1 small bowl
- 1 large plate
- 1 frying pan
- 1 oven tray
- 1 oven
- 1 condiment bowls
- 1 serving bowl
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
- Place fish fillets on a large plate. Place turmeric, coriander, garlic and vegetable oil in a blender and combine (or in a small bowl and pound until mixed).
- Rub the mixture all over the fillets and let them stand for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another small bowl add mayo, lime juice and warm water together, stir to combine and set aside.
- Once the fish fillets have been marinating, sear in a frying pan to colour them, then place on an oven tray (or leave in your frying pan if it’s ovenproof) and put in the oven to finish cooking. This will take about 8 minutes. You could also cook the fish on a BBQ.
- While the fish is cooking, prepare condiment bowls – corn, lettuce, tomato, guacamole and salsa/jalapenos for the table.
- Pop taco shells into oven for five minutes to warm.
- Once the fish is cooked, leave to cool slightly. Flake fish meat from its skin and place in a bowl (or if no skin, flake meat into serving bowl).
- Place all components on the table and begin to make your tacos.
Notes
Tip
I snap the taco shells in half when building my tacos and then eat them like an open sandwich as the shells tend to break at an unexpected moment during eating and this way, I can contain the mess!
Tip
Flaking the meat is quick and easy – just make sure you buy a firm fish like snapper, bream or cod.
Variation
You can cook the fish on a BBQ instead of in the oven.
Variation
Grated carrot and beetroot also work well. Make the condiments to suit your family.
