Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large tomatillo, husked, rinsed and chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced (remove seeds for less heat)
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/4 pounds catfish fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup instant flour (such as Wondra) or cornstarch
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Make the salsa: Mix the tomatillo, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno in a bowl and season with salt.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the fish with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then toss with the flour in a bowl. Fry the fish in 2 batches, turning as needed, until golden brown and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt.
  • Fill the tortillas with the fish, lettuce and salsa. Serve the tacos with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish for the best flavor. Any type of white fish can be used, such as cod, tilapia, or halibut.
  • Make sure the fish is cooked through before serving. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Use a variety of toppings to create your own unique tacos. Some popular toppings include shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado, and sour cream.
  • Serve the tacos with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include tartar sauce, salsa, or guacamole.
  • Enjoy your fish tacos!
