Take taco night to the next level with crispy baja fillets, corn and spicy jalapeno peppers.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels, cut from cooked cobs, or defrosted

  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 large basa fillets, about 400 g

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 tbsp Jalepeno Tabasco sauce

  • 6 large corn tortillas

  • 3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  • Combine corn with jalapeno in a large non-stick frying pan set over high. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are slightly charred, about 5 min. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.

  • Stir honey with paprika and salt in a small bowl until it forms a paste. Pat fish dry. Return pan to heat over medium-high. Add oil, then fish. Cook for 2 min. Flip, then spread paste over fish. Cover and continue cooking, about 4 more min.
