Ingredients

  • 2 tbspCajun spice mix
  • 1 tspcayenne pepper
  • 4 filletswhite fish, cod, haddock or similar
  • 1 tspvegetable oil
  • 8flour tortillas
  • 1avocado, sliced
  • 2little gem lettuce, shredded
  • 4scallions, shredded
  • 1 1/4 cupssalsa
  • 5 1/4 ozsour cream, 1 pot (approx 150ml), for the dressing
  • 1lemon, juice only, for the dressing
  • 1 clovegarlic, finely chopped, for the dressing
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. 1

    Stir the sour cream, lemon juice and garlic together with a pinch of salt and pepper, and keep it in the fridge until the tacos are ready.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cajun spice and cayenne with a pinch of salt and pepper on a large plate and turn the fish fillets in it until coated all over.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the fish for about 3 minutes, until golden underneath. Turn it, lower the heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes more, until it is opaque all the way through and flakes easily — in batches if the pan is crowded.

  4. 4

    Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds. Fill with avocado, lettuce and scallions, add a spoonful of salsa, then large flakes of fish and a drizzle of the dressing.
