Fish Tacos With Salsa Verde And Radish Salad Recipe

ingredients

1 bunch cilantro, roots and thick stems removed
4 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
1/2 bunch radishes, trimmed, halved, thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed, for less heat), minced
1 1/2 pound tilapia fillets skinless
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
12 corn tortillas (6 inch size)

directions

Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat.

In a blender, combine cilantro, 2 Tablespoons lime juice, 2 Tbsp oil, and 2 Tbsp water; season with salt and pepper. Blend until pureed. Set Salsa Aside.

In a small bowl, mix together remaining 2 Tbsp lime juice, remaining tablespoon oil, radishes, scallions and jalapeno; season with salt and pepper. Set radish salad aside.

Place tilapia on a rimmed baking sheet; season with coriander, salt and pepper. Broil until opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes; break up into chunks.

Meanwhile, using tongs, hold tortillas over a gas flame until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side (or wrap stacked tortillas in damp paper towels, and microwave on high until warm and soft, about 1 minute).

To assemble, fill tortillas with fish and radish salad; top with salsa verde and fold.

cook's notes

You may have seen this in Everyday Food. It sounds very tasty to me. I might put this into crispy taco shells with a cabbage slaw over the fish then the salsa verde as a topper with the radishes.

Onion Soup Mix Saves The Day

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
