Chili Spiced Cod With Roasted Cabbage Slaw Food

BAJA FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Toss the cabbage, red onion, cilantro, vinegar, oil and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle chiles with sauce and garlic in a blender or mini food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
• Mix the flour, salt and pepper together in a medium bowl. Gradually add the beer, whisking until the batter is smooth with no lumps. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet, over medium heat, add enough oil to reach a depth of ½-inch. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F, or when the end of a wooden spoon sizzles when dipped into the oil.
• Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, dip the fish strips in the beer batter and coat on both sides. Let the excess batter drip off, then fry the fish in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Smear each tortilla with a generous amount of the chipotle sauce, then top with the cabbage slaw. Lay one piece of fish inside each tortilla and serve with lime wedges.
• Note: 3 chipotle peppers and 2 teaspoons sauce will give you a spicy sauce. Use less for a milder sauce. You can freeze any leftover chipotle peppers from the can.
• Note: Nutritional information was calculated assuming that approximately 3 tablespoons of oil are absorbed into the fish when fried.
• Note: Nutritional Information does not include the chipotle sauce.

COD FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Season fish with salt, ground cumin and Tajin.
• Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to eat.
• Toss the slaw ingredients and keep cold.
• Place on preheated skillet and spray with olive oil, cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side until fish is just opaque and charred. Break up in large chunks.
• Char the tortillas over an open flame on the burner or in a skillet about 30 seconds on each side, stack on a plate covered with a towel to keep warm.
• Assemble tacos. Place slaw on the bottom of each tortilla, top with fish and drizzle with sauce, serve with lime wedges.

CHILI-ROASTED COD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a roasting pan with vegetable cooking spray.
• Arrange the cod fillets skin-side down. Sprinkle with the chili powder, oregano, and salt. Roast 5 to 7 minutes or until the cod is just opaque and flakes when tested with a fork.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, swirling constantly, just until the butter begins to brown. Add the cumin and lime juice and continue to cook, swirling 1 minute longer.
• Remove the cod from the oven. Set aside half the cod for Day 3. Drizzle the cumin-lime butter over the remaining cod and serve with the potatoes and peas.
• Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain. Add the zest, juice, butter and a dash of salt.
• Beat with an electric mixer until the potatoes are light and fluffy.
• Place sugar snap peas in a steamer and steam until tender but still crisp, about 4 minutes. Toss with mint, season, and serve.

CABBAGE-KOHLRABI SLAW

Steps:

• Peel 1 medium kohlrabi or turnip and cut into matchsticks. Whisk the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/4 cup chopped dill, 1/2 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, and salt and pepper in a bowl; whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Toss with the kohlrabi, 1/4 head shredded Savoy cabbage, and salt and pepper to taste.
