(Not Your Average) Fish Taco
Ingredients
Utensils
knife, 2 nonstick pans
Step 1/5
- knife
Prep the ingredients: Thinly slice fish fillet to 1/4 in thick pieces, and sprinkle with one tablespoon of lemon juice, some freshly grated or ground cumin, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Dice the onion and tomato (1 big or 2 small tomatos). Scoop avocado into a bowl, add a squeeze of lemon, and smash with a fork.
Step 2/5
- 6 sheets corn tortillas
- nonstick pan
Warm the tortilla: Heat a non-stick skillet for 1 min. Put one tortilla in the pan and heat up each side for about 45 sec-1 min until the tortilla feels dryer and hardened. Repeat until all 3 tortilla are heated. OR, if you want to use oven it’s even better, warp them (up to 6 in one stack) in aluminum foil and to heat up at 350F for 10-12 min while doing next steps. Because I’m only making 3, I use the pan to do it quick and save energy.
Step 3/5
- 2 cup edamame bean
- ½ head onion
- 4 tsp canola oil
- salt
- black peppercorn
- nonstick pan
Cook the “beans”: In the same nonstick pan (no need to wash), turn heat to medium and add canola or vegetable oil. Sauté the onion and edamame for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and ground pepper.
Step 4/5
- 1 lb fish
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cumin
Pan-fry the fish: Melt butter in the pan with medium-low heat, add minced garlic, then cook white fish 2-3 min each side. Season with more freshly ground nutmeg and pepper. Tip: you know it’s time to flip when looking from the side 40% - half of the fish turns from translucent to white.
Step 5/5
- 2 head tomato
- 1 head avocado
- 1 head lemon
Assemble the taco! Put one piece of fish, a scoop of sautés edamame, and chopped tomatoes into a tortilla. Add a dollop of mashed avocado and drizzle some sriracha on top. Squeeze more lemon, if desired.
Enjoy your meal!
