Barramundi Fish Tacos
Prep Time
• Prep and Cook time: 30 minutes
• Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsps olive oil
• 2 tbsps peanut oil
• 2 tbsps chile powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 - 12 yellow corn tortillas
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 Jalapeno peppers, cut into medium slices
• 1 medium red onion, cut into medium slices
• 4 pieces of barramundi fillets, cut into 1 inch strips
Method
- Combine chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper together in a small bowl, coat the Barramundi strips in the spices.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear veggies using half the oil in a heavy skillet for about 4 minutes (softened but not wilted). Remove from pan and keep warm.
- Add remainder of oil to pan and place fish strips down. Cook about 2 minutes.
- Flip the fish once with a spatula, trying not to break it too much. Cook one additional minute.
- Add veggies to the fish, gently mix and remove from heat.
- In a clean pan over low heat put a few drops of oil, add a tortilla and gently move around with fingers, flip and repeat, until warmed and softened, about 1 minute. Stack warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with clean dish towel to keep warm.
- Serve at once. Allow diners to spoon fish into tacos and add cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, etc., as desired. Eat with hands.
