Delicious Fish Tacos With Mango Salsa Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1 cup mango, diced
  • 1 cup cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium lime, juiced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup red onion, diced

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Fish

    Season the fish fillets with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    Let the fish sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Fish

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook the seasoned fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
  3. Make Mango Salsa

    In a bowl, combine diced mango, lime juice, and optional cilantro and red onion. Mix well.

    Adjust lime juice to taste for desired acidity.
  4. Warm the Tortillas

    Heat corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.

    Keep tortillas covered with a clean towel to stay warm.
  5. Assemble the Tacos

    Layer shredded cabbage on each tortilla, top with cooked fish, and spoon mango salsa over the top.

    Serve immediately for the best texture.
