FISH TACOS RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Fish Tacos Recipe - NYT Cooking image

Fish tacos, that great meal of the Baja Peninsula, and a taste of summer. They are simple to make, no more complicated in fact than a hamburger or a mess of pancakes, and they are considerably more flavorful. Fried in strips and served onboard warm corn tortillas with a simple salsa, a pinch of fresh cabbage, plenty of lime and a cream sauce you might want to punch up with some chopped chipotle, these fish tacos can turn a cold night into bluebird summer, transporting you from chill into deep humidity and bliss.

Total Time 30 minutes

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1 jalapeño, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut crosswise into half moons (optional)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 limes, 1 halved and 1 cut into wedges
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canned chipotle pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1/2 cup flour, preferably Wondra or other fine-milled flour
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup peanut oil, plus a splash more for greasing pan
Pat of butter
1 pound flounder or any firm white-fleshed fish, cut across the grain of the flesh into strips about 1/2 inch wide by 3 inches long
12 6-inch fresh corn tortillas
2 cups shredded green cabbage
A saucy hot sauce, like Tapatio or Frank’s

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeño (if using).
  • In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream until combined. Season to taste with the halved lime, salt, pepper and chipotle (if using).
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons each of kosher salt and black pepper. Pour the milk into another medium bowl, and place the fish into it.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the peanut oil into a 12-inch frying pan and place over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is about to smoke. Remove the fish pieces from the milk bath and dredge them lightly through the flour mixture, shaking to remove excess. Add the butter to the pan. Place some fish pieces in the oil, without crowding them, and cook until deep golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn carefully and cook for 1 minute more. Remove to a warmed, paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Meanwhile, lightly grease a skillet with a drizzle of oil and set over medium heat. Heat the tortillas, one or two at a time, until they are soft and hot. Keep them warm, wrapped in a dish towel.
  • Fill each tortilla with 3 pieces of fish, browned side up, followed by tomato salsa and a pinch of cabbage. Drizzle with the cream sauce. Serve 2 to 3 tacos per person, with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.

I came up with this recipe after having fish tacos from a street vendor in Ensenada, Mexico. It is the closest to authentic I have found. Salsa can be made a day in advance for flavors to blend.

Total Time 1 hours 0 minutes

Prep Time 40 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 tomatoes, diced
1 small onion, diced
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons canned diced jalapeno peppers, or more to taste (juice reserved)
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ lime, juiced
3 cups coleslaw mix
3 tablespoons ranch dressing
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 (9 ounce) box batter mix (such as Shore Lunch®)
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mexican beer
24 corn tortillas
1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 limes, sliced into wedges
1 dash chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)

Steps:

  • Mix tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, 1 tablespoon juice from jalapeno peppers, and garlic salt in a bowl; squeeze 1/2 lime over salsa fresca. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing fish.
  • Toss coleslaw mix with ranch dressing in a bowl; set aside for flavors to blend.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir batter mix and beer together in a bowl. Wrap corn tortillas in wet paper towels and set aside.

  • Microwave corn tortillas on high until warmed, about 1 minute.
  • Stack two tortillas on a plate; top with fish, a sprinkle of Mexican cheese, coleslaw mixture, salsa fresca, and a squeeze from lime wedge. Drizzle with chile-garlic sauce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
