I saw this recipe on TV: Maeve's Food Safari
Place the fish fillets in a large, shallow dish and brush with olive oil. Pour over lime juice, a sprinkle of salt, chopped coriander and half the cayenne pepper. Allow the marinade to infuse the fish for 30 minutes - 2 hours in the fridge.
Toss the cabbage salad ingredients together - shredded cabbage with red onion and coriander.
For the salsa
Mix the chopped tomato, onion, chilli, garlic and coriander together in
bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Add pinch of cumin and
some sea salt and stir through. Set aside.
For the bajar sauce
In a small bowl, mix together - sour cream, yoghurt, chilli powder, lime juice and salt.
Preheat a grill or barbeque to medium-low.
On a very clean grate brush the grill with oil and place the fish seasoning side down to cook. Sprinkle the rest of the chilli on the top side of the fish and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fish to a clean platter, allow it to rest 10 minutes and then slice into thick strips.
Heat the tortillas by placing them on the barbeque grill for about a minute each side.
To serve
For each taco, place a warm tortilla on a plate, add a few chunks of
fish, drizzle with the Bajar sauce, and add a handful of salsa and
cabbage salad.
