Fish Tacos With Habanero Salsa Recipes

FISH TACOS WITH BAJA SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce, put all of its ingredients in a food processor, blitz until smooth and season well. Add a splash of water if you need to, to make it a consistency that can be drizzled, then pour into a bowl or jug and chill until needed.
• To make the fish, whisk the lime juice, oil and fajita seasoning in a bowl, add the cod and toss well. Fry the cod in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat for 5 mins until beginning to flake, but not falling apart. Divide between the tortillas, each one drizzled with the sauce and topped with a spoonful of our curtido and our tomatillo salsa.

FISH TACOS AL PASTOR

Steps:

• Bring guajillo and morita chiles and 1½ cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit 30 minutes to allow chiles to soften.
• Place fish in a large bowl or baking dish. Transfer chile mixture and soaking liquid to a blender. Add orange juice, achiote paste, 4 garlic cloves, ¼ cup lime juice, and 1 Tbsp. salt and purée until smooth, about 2 minutes. Set aside 1 cup chile sauce, uncovered, at room temperature for serving. Pour remaining sauce over fish and toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, mix onion, habanero chile, pineapple, 3 Tbsp. cilantro, remaining finely chopped garlic clove, 3 Tbsp. lime juice, and 1½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Cover salsa and chill until ready to use.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; thoroughly clean grate and brush with oil. Working in batches if necessary, grill fish, leaving a few inches of space between each piece, until marinade is dried and beginning to char, about 2 minutes. Using a fish spatula, release fish from grate, turn, and continue to grill until charred on second side and flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Grill tortillas until just beginning to brown in spots, about 30 seconds per side. Top each tortilla with a piece of fish, then a schmear of reserved chile sauce, a spoonful of pineapple salsa, and some cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
• Do Ahead: Pineapple salsa can be made 4 hours ahead. Keep chilled.

• Mix yogurt and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise in a small bowl. Add remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, remaining lime juice, dill, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne and season with salt. If it's too tart for your taste, add more mayonnaise.
• Mix oregano, sumac, cumin, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon cayenne in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Rub spice mix onto both sides of the tilapia fillets.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tilapia and cook until blackened and fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat.
• Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 30 to 60 seconds per side.
• Put some blackened tilapia in each tortilla and top with cabbage salsa. Fold in half and return to the hot skillet to lightly crisp on each side. Serve immediately with yogurt sauce on the side, to be used as a dip.
