20 min prep
12 min cook
4 serves
1.6 serves of veg
0.5 serves of fruit
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • ½ tsp ground paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 500g firm, skinless, boneless white fish fillets

Dressing:

  • 200g plain Greek reduced fat yoghurt^
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
  • ½ lime, juiced

Salsa:

  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1 medium mango, peeled and diced
  • ½ small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 long red chilli, deseeded and finely diced
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped

To serve:

  • 8 small tortillas*
  • 250g red cabbage, finely shredded (approx. 2 cups)
  • 2 limes, in wedges, to serve
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped

*To make gluten free, use gluten free tortillas.

^To make dairy free, replace Greek yoghurt with a dairy-free yoghurt.

  1. Combine the garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, ground coriander, pepper and the juice of 1 lime in a glass bowl. Add the fish to the bowl and coat well. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for a maximum of 30 minutes.
  2. To make the yoghurt dressing: combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  3. To make the salsa: combine the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  4. To cook the fish, heat the oil in a large non-stick frypan over a medium heat. Cook the fish fillets for 3 – 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the fish from the pan and allow to rest. Flake the fish with a fork.
  5. Warm the tortillas according to packet instructions, or warm in a frypan or grill pan over a high heat for 1 minute on each side.
  6. To assemble the tacos, spread a spoonful of the yoghurt dressing onto the middle of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with the cabbage, flaked fish, salsa and the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander leaves. Serve with lime wedges.

Serving Suggestion: You could try other great vegetable options that you have available and what’s in season – corn, capsicum, avocado and canned black beans would also work well in the salsa.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help make the dressing, prepare the salsa, and assemble the tacos.
