Baja Fish Tacos with Cabbage Salsa
Ingredients
Fish:
1 1/2 pounds Pacific halibut, farmed striped bass, mahi mahi or other firm, sustainable fish
1/2 cup flour or breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Dash of cayenne pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons olive, canola or corn oil
12 corn tortillas (handmade are best)
Salsa:
1 small head of cabbage
Juice of 1 orange and 1 lime
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon tequila
1 teaspoon oregano, crumbled
1 large tomato, diced
1 canned jalapeno chili, minced
Preparation
- Remove the tough outer leaves of cabbage and shred the head into a large bowl. Add remaining salsa ingredients and stir. Set aside for at least 30 minutes while you make the fish.
- Cut the fish into strips 1 inch wide. Combine the flour, salt, cumin, black and cayenne peppers in a shallow bowl. Pour milk into another shallow bowl. Dip the fish in the milk and toss the fish in the flour mixture.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish and fry, turning once, until it is golden brown on both sides (this takes only a few minutes). Toss in the garlic as the fish fries. Remove fish and dry on paper towels.
- Warm the tortillas in foil in the oven or in a dry skillet on the stovetop.
- Serve the tortillas in one bowl, the fish in another and the cabbage salsa in a third.
Serves 6.
Tip
If you don't have time to make the cabbage salsa, use any good salsa, a little sour cream and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
This meal is fast and easy.
