Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 2 fillets snapper or kingfish
- ½ lime, juiced
- 4 flour tortillas
- splash of hot sauce (optional)
Salsa
- 1 cob corn, husks and silks discarded
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- ½ tsp chipotle powder or smoked paprika
- sea salt and ground black pepper
- 65 g drained and rinsed canned black beans
- ¼ red onion, finely chopped
- 3 sprigs coriander, finely chopped (reserve some for garnish)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp molasses
Guacamole
- 1 avocado
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- ½ lime, juiced
Instructions
- For the salsa, preheat the oven to 180˚C.
- Place the corn cob on a baking tray, drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the chipotle powder. Season to taste and roast for 30–40 minutes or until lightly charred and tender.
- Remove the corn from the oven, hold the cob vertically on the chopping board and run a knife down each side, slicing off the kernels. Transfer the kernels to a bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- For the guacamole, place all the ingredients in a bowl and mash until smooth. Season to taste.
- Heat the sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the fish and cook for 3 minutes (depending on thickness) or until golden, then using a spatula, carefully flip over and cook until just cooked through. Remove the fish from the pan, break into chunks and season with lime juice and sea salt.
- While the fish is cooking, heat a dry heavy–based frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add a tortilla and cook on one side until slightly charred, then remove from the pan and wrap in foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- To assemble, spread a generous amount of guacamole across each tortilla. Add the fish, hot sauce (if using) and a little roasted corn and black bean salsa. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve.
