    Serves 4

    Ingredients

    Mexican Fish

    • 4 x 150g firm fish fillets (see Notes below)
    • cooking oil spray
    • 1 x (30g) sachet taco seasoning mix
    • 1 lemon
    • 2 tsp (10ml) oil

    Corn Salsa

    • kernels from 2 corn cobs (200g)
    • ½ green capsicum (50g), finely chopped
    • 1 medium tomato (150g), finely chopped
    • ½ small red onion (30g), finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp (20ml) lime juice
    • ¼ cup chopped coriander
    • 1 small garlic clove, minced
    • salt and pepper

    Method

    To make the Corn Salsa: Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and add corn kernels. Cook for 2-3 minutes before draining and refreshing kernels in cold water. Drain again. Add corn and the rest of the salsa ingredients in a bowl and mix together.

    To make the Mexican Fish: Sprinkle taco seasoning over each fish fillet. Heat a large non-stick frying pan or barbecue grill on medium, add oil and place fish seasoning side down.

    Cook for 2-3 minutes, spray top side of fish lightly with oil, turn and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or so. Cooking times will depend on what type of fish you are using.

    Place fish on a board to rest for a couple of minutes. Serve fish with corn salsa and a lemon wedge on the side.

    Serving Suggestions

    Note

    • You can make this with any fish you like – white fish, pink fish (such as salmon or tuna) but just make sure it’s firm fish so it holds when you cook it.
    • To remove kernels from corn cobs, take a sharp knive and cut lengthways down the cob.
    • If you’re really pushed for time and don’t have any fresh corn, drain a can of corn kernels and mix with salsa ingredients.
    • My kids love coriander when it’s cooked in something, but not if it’s fresh in a salad. If you’ve got the same problem, just leave it out.
