Fabulous Fish Tacos Recipes

RECIPE: FAST AND FABULOUS FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Make the pico de gallo: In a medium bowl, toss together all the ingredients.
• Prepare the fish: Mix the flour and seasonings on a plate. Dip the fish chunks into the flour to coat on all sides. Transfer to a clean plate.
• In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fish and cook until the fish is golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish). Flip and cook until it is golden brown on the other side and the center is white, flaky, and cooked all the way through, 7 to 8 minutes total (depending on the thickness). Add more butter to the pan if necessary to keep it from drying out. Squeeze the lime on top.
• Serve the fish with warm tortillas and freshly made pico de gallo.

THE ULTIMATE FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare the fish. Cut the pieces of fish into 1-ounce strips. Set up a breading station of flour, lightly beaten eggs with water, and seasoned panko bread crumbs. Season all with salt and pepper. Dredge the pieces of fish in flour, egg then bread crumbs. Once all the fish is breaded deep-fry in small batches in (375 degrees F) oil. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Prepare the pink chile mayonnaise. Put the chipotles in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, adobo sauce and lemon juice and continue to process until the mixture is consistent and creamy. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Prepare the mango-radish salsa. Remove the peel and pith from the limes and cut between the membranes to remove the segments. Put these "supremes" into a bowl and squeeze over the juice from the membranes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Season and refrigerate until ready to use. You can also place all of the ingredients into a food processor and puree for a smoother salsa.
• To serve, set up the tacos "family-style". Assemble the fish in a pile on a plate; the pink chile mayonnaise in a bowl; and mango-radish salsa in another. Set a pile of shredded savoy cabbage, cilantro leaves, chopped chives and lime wedges next to the fish. Toast the corn tortillas lightly over an open flame (on your stove top) and serve.

FAVORITE FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Season fish filets and place on foil, sprayed with cooking spray placed on broiler pan. I usually use a chili powder and cumin.
• Place 6 inches from fire in broiler approx 3 to 4 minutes. You only need to broil one side!
• In the mean time, on an oiled griddle lightly fry corn tortillas (placing 2 together) so actually out of 4 sides you are only grilling 2 of the sides.
• I usually keep fresh salsa on hand (tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic, onion, cilantro and a couple of squeezes of lemon juice).
• Assemble -- tacos -- tortillas, fish, cabbage, onion, cilantro and salsa!

EASY FISH TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, red onion, sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Chill until ready to serve.
• In a bowl, mix cayenne, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Season each tilapia fillet on both sides with the seasoning mix.
• Over medium-high heat, cook 2 fillets at a time for 8 minutes, flipping halfway. Repeat for the remaining fillets.
• Using a fork, break apart the fillets into bite-size pieces.
• Right before serving, heat the corn tortillas in the pan over high heat. Remove from the pan and assemble the tacos with the cabbage slaw and tilapia.
• Garnish with cilantro and lime juice.
• Enjoy!

PERFECT FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Remove any pin bones from fish fillets (using tweezers makes this easy). Cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Cut each half on a diagonal into 1" strips. (Work with the natural shape of the fish as you cut; this will help the pieces stay together instead of falling apart when frying.)
• Whisk all-purpose flour, rice flour, and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in club soda until no lumps remain; adjust with more club soda or rice flour as needed to make it the consistency of thin pancake batter-it should be pourable, but thick enough to coat the fish.
• Fit a large pot with a deep-fry thermometer and pour in oil to measure 2". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 350°.
• Working in batches of 5-7 pieces at a time, coat fish in batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully place in oil (to avoid splattering, lower fish into oil pointing away from you). Don't overcrowd the pot: The oil temperature will drop dramatically and fish may stick together.
• Fry fish, turning occasionally with a fish spatula or slotted spoon and maintaining oil temperature at 350°, until crust is puffed, crisp, and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; season immediately with salt.
• While fish is frying, use tongs to heat tortillas one at a time directly over a gas burner, moving them often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 1 minute per side.
• Transfer to a plate; cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. (If you don't have a gas stove, wrap up a stack of tortillas in a sheet of foil and heat in a 350° oven until warmed through.)
• Top tortillas (we like two per taco) with fish, slaw, hot sauce, avocado, cilantro, and pickled jalapeños. Serve with lime wedges.

QUICK FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix sour cream and lime juice together in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Reserve about half the mixture in another bowl for serving. Mince half the jalapeno pepper; save other half for later. Toss cabbage, green onions, and minced jalapeno half in remaining sour cream mixture until slaw is well mixed.
• Heat olive oil and remaining jalapeno half in a large skillet over medium heat; swirl oil to coat skillet evenly. Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Pan-fry fish strips in the skillet in 2 batches until fish is golden brown and easily flaked with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes. Discard jalapeno half.
• Heat tortillas in the microwave on high until warm, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Serve fish in warmed tortillas topped with cabbage slaw, reserved sour cream mixture, and cilantro.
