Fish Tacos With Pickled Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the red wine vinegar with 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl. Stir in the salt, sugar and hot sauce. Add the sliced onion and let sit for at least 1 hour. These can be stored, refrigerated in an airtight container, for 1 week.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place tomatillos and jalapeno on the pan and allow to char on all sides, flipping with tongs as needed. Allow to cool slightly. Remove stems and add to a blender. Add half of the lime juice and half the cilantro. Pulse until combined and smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids; it's okay to have some lumps). Set aside to cool.
• Add cabbages, carrot and 1/4 cup pickled onions to a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Drizzle olive oil and some of the pickling liquid into the bowl until everything is lightly coated. Set aside to marinate until ready to serve.
• Clean grill pan if necessary, then heat it over medium heat and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle fillets with salt and smoked paprika. Grill fillets on both sides until cooked through and flaky, about 3 minutes per side. Warm tortillas on grill pan until soft and pliable.
• Top each tortilla with 1/2 fillet of fish, tomatillo salsa and slaw. Garnish with sliced avocado, Cotija, remaining cilantro and lime wedges. Serve!

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with oil halfway up the pot. Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Preheat grill.
• In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup flour, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Slowly whisk in beer until thick, but not runny. Dredge fish in remaining flour first, then dunk in the batter. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper-toweled lined plate.
• Meanwhile, grill tortillas on grill.
• Serve fish in tortillas topped with Quick-Pickled Onion and Cucumber.
• In a medium saucepan, bring to a boil the vinegar, sugar, water, and salt. Add onions and cucumber and continue to cook a few minutes more. Remove from heat, add chile, and transfer to a bowl. Let cool slightly then chill covered, for at least 1 hour.
• Toss in the tomato and cilantro, 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Pickled Red Onion:
• To make the pickled red onion, place the onion and jalapeño in a heatproof medium bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, lime juice and salt. Bring to the boil over high heat, stirring until the salt dissolves, then pour over the onion and jalapeño. Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before using. (Leftovers will keep up to 1 week in the fridge.)
• Baja Cream:
• To make the Baja cream, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, lime zest and salt in a small bowl, then taste for seasoning and lime juice.
• Baja Cabbage Slaw:
• To make the cabbage slaw, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice and Tabasco in a bowl. Toss the cabbage with the mayonnaise mixture, season to taste and refrigerate.
• Marinated Fish:
• To marinate the fish, mix the olive oil, chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander and jalapeño in a non-reactive dish. Add the fish and marinate for 20 minutes.
• When ready to cook the fish, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade, place in the hot pan and season with salt.
• Cook the fish for 4 minutes, then turn over, season again with salt and cook for another 2 minutes or until just cooked through, depending on the thickness.
• Remove the pan from the heat and flake the fish with a fork, scraping up and mixing in any marinade that has stuck to the bottom.
• Assembly:
• Heat the tortillas according to the directions on the packet. To assemble the tacos, place a heaped spoon of the fish onto the centre of a warm tortilla. Top with the pickled onion and jalapeño, Baja cream, Baja cabbage slaw and tomato salsa.
