Ingredients

Portuguese Peri-Peri Fish

  • 600g fish fillets
  • 2 tablespoons peri-peri marinade
  • ½ teaspoon salt

To Serve

  • ½ iceberg lettuce
  • 1 tomato
  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • 10 wholemeal tortilla wraps
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Reserved peri-peri marinade
  • 2-3 tablespoons coriander leaves and stalks, roughly chopped

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Preheat BBQ hot plate to high (if using). Pat fish dry with paper towels and remove any remaining scales and bones. Cut widthways into 5-6cm pieces and toss in a shallow bowl with first measure of peri-peri marinade and salt. Season with pepper and set aside for 5-10 minutes to marinate.
  2. While fish marinates, finely shred lettuce, cut tomato into thin wedges, thinly slice cucumber and place onto a serving platter.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat and cook fish for 1-2 minutes each side, until just cooked through.
  4. While the fry-pan is heating, place wraps in foil and heat in oven for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
  5. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and reserved peri-peri marinade.
  6. To serve, place wraps, Portuguese peri-peri fish, salad and peri-peri mayonnaise in the middle of the table and build your own tacos.
