Lightly Spiced Fish Fajitas Food

FISH FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add the beans, salsa and 1/2 cup water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers and sliced onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, without stirring, until the vegetables are browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Toss the fish with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and chili powder; season generously with salt. Scatter over the roasted vegetables and broil until the fish is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir the cilantro into the beans and divide among plates. Serve with the fish, roasted vegetables, tortillas, guacamole and lime wedges.

HOT AND SPICY FAJITAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add vegetables, season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce, to taste, and saute until tender yet still crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and reserve.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken, steak, shrimp, and sausage; it is best to select a different area of the grill for each, as they all have very different cooking times. As each is cooked through, remove from the grill, cut into strips, and reserve.
• Heat the same large skillet until very hot and return the vegetables to the pan. Layer the assorted roasted chiles on top and then lay the meat on top of the chiles. Add the lime juice for that famous fajita sizzle and serve immediately with the Guacamole and Salsa.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Preheat a grill to high.
• Coat the tomatoes, onions, and chiles in olive oil, black pepper, and chili powder, to taste. Blacken vegetables on the grill. Remove from the heat and then dice when cool enough to handle. Mix together in a bowl with the lime juice and cilantro. Season, to taste, with cumin, garlic salt, and additional pepper and chili powder.

LIGHTLY SPICED FISH FAJITAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Put the beaten egg into a shallow bowl. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a plate. Mix the fajita seasoning into the breadcrumbs.
• Brush a non-stick baking sheet with oil. Dip the fish strips into the egg, then coat them with the breadcrumbs. Transfer to the oven.
• Meanwhile, put the spring onions and peppers on a baking tray and turn them through a small amount of oil. When the fish has been in the oven for 5 mins, put the onions and peppers in. Bake for a further 10 mins until the fish fingers are golden.
• Mash the avocados with a fork and stir through the diced tomato, lime juice and some black pepper. Get the other accompaniments ready in bowls.
• Warm the tortillas for 15-30 secs in the microwave, or you can warm them through on a plate in the oven for a few mins.
• Place all the food in dishes on the table and let everyone dig in!

EASY LIGHTLY FRIED FISH - THYME AND SPICES - MEDITERRANEAN

Steps:

• thaw the fish if frozen - rinse it under water and pat dry if you wish.
• preheat about an inch of oil in a pan.
• cut the fillets into smaller pieces if you want.
• crack the egg into a shallow bowl and beat - add a pinch of salt and pepper.
• prepare the spiced fish fry coating - mix roughly 50:50 flour:spices. I suggest adding a fair amount of salt and pepper, and also chili powder if you like it hot. ANY COMBO OF SPICES WORK, be liberal. MIX UNTIL HOMOGENOUS.
• dip the fish in egg - let the extra egg drip off (tap against the side of bowl).
• coat both sides of the egged up fish in the frying coating.
• carefully (hot oil is dangerous!) fry both sides of the fish in the oil until golden brown on both sides, and the inside of the fish is flaky and white.
• dry on paper towels lined with a bed of thyme.
• garnish with lemon wedges and thyme sprigs (optional).

SPICY GRILLED CATFISH FILLETS

Steps:

• 1. In a 12" skillet, heat olive oil.
• 2. Season fillets with blackened seasoning on both sides of fish. Cook in hot oil for a couple minutes on each side. Blackened seasoning will smoke, so reduce heat to prevent fire alarm from going off. Cook until fish is tender and easily flakes. Remove from heat and place on warmed dinner plate to serve.
• 3. Serve with lemon slices.
