Servings: 2
Calories: 303kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb firm white fish eg. cod
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp oil minced
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh mint chopped
- 1 tbsp green onions sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup tomatoes diced
- 1/2 lime juice only
- salt and pepper
To serve (optional, as needed)
- corn or flour tortillas warmed
- herbs roughly chopped
- quick pickled daikon and carrot
- lime wedges
- red onion diced
Instructions
- Cut the cod into 1 1/2 inch pieces and place in a bowl with the fish sauce, sugar, pepper, turmeric, garlic, and oil. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Heat up a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add a touch of oil to the pan, and when hot, add the fish, being careful not to crowd. When the bottoms are browned and caramelized, about 2 minutes, flip and let cook for another 2 minutes or so, or until cooked through.
- Remove from the heat and toss in a bowl with the chopped herbs, tomatoes, and lime juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve on charred or warmed tortillas with extra herbs, pickles, lime wedges, and diced red onions, if desired.
