Cajun Cod Tacos with Peach Salsa
Ingredients
For the cod:
- 4 cod filets, , cut into 1-inch slices
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup corn flour, (not cornmeal)
- 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried chipotle pepper
For the peach salsa:
- 2 ripe peaches, , diced small
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, , finely chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, , finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon jalapeño, , finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
For serving:
- 12 gluten-free corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, , sliced (optional)
- 1 lime, , sliced (optional)
- 2 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
Make the cod:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease well with cooking spray, butter, or olive oil.
- Combine the corn flour and dry spices for the cod in a small bowl. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
- Working on a large plate or rimmed sheet pan, coat the pieces of fish on all sides with mayonnaise. A pastry brush or clean hands will work well. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on top of the mayo-coated fish, turning each piece to coat at least the top and bottom.
- Transfer the seasoned fish onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for approximately 8 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Total time will depend on the thickness of the fish. Remove and serve right away.
Make the peach salsa:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir gently to combine well. Serve right away or store covered in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
To serve:
- Wrap the stack of corn tortillas in a damp paper towel. Microwave until warmed through, about 30-60 seconds, depending on the microwave. Keep them wrapped in the damp paper towel until ready to assemble the tacos. This will make the tortillas pliable and keep them from breaking.
- Assemble the tacos by layering the warm tortillas with the Cajun cod and peach salsa. Add a slice of avocado (highly recommended) and squeeze of lime if you’d like. Serve with a side of rice.
