Cajun Grilled Catfish Tacos

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

    Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded white cabbage
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest + 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Cajun seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 tsp dry mustard
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder

    Fish

  • 4 catfish fillets weighing 220 g each.
  • Olive oil for greasing
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 8 sprigs of cilantro
  • Serving: Lime wedges and your favorite hot sauce (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Toppings:

    In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, and cayenne pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Fish:

    Brush the fillets with oil on all sides, season generously with salt and pepper, and then rub with the spices. Place the fish on the grill grate and cook, without turning, until you see distinct grill marks and the fish releases easily, 5–6 minutes. Check by carefully lifting a corner. If it's sticking, cook a little longer. Flip the fish and cook until firm to the touch, about 5 more minutes.
  4. Microwave, steam, or grill the tortillas until they're pliable. Fill each tortilla with half a fish fillet, a sprig of cilantro, and a little cabbage. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and hot sauce, if using. Serve the tacos with lime wedges.
