I call these easy healthy fish tacos my skinny fish tacos as they are my comfort skinny food when craving something other than a salad! The saltiness of the fish, combined with the sweetness of the mango, the spicy kick in the tomato salsa, seriously hot jalapeño peppers, the coolness of the mint salsa and finally the crunchy bite of the taco shell will give you every flavour, aroma and texture you will ever crave.
I make the spice rub in the thermomix then rub it over the fish to marinate. The fish can be steamed in the varoma but I prefer to cook it in the oven until it is slightly blackened. This adds a nice texture to the outside of the fish.
While the fish is cooking you can prepare the salsas which literally take minutes in the thermomix. I can’t decide which one I prefer! The tomatoes are refreshing and spicy at the same time. Then the cooling mint salsa gives some relief to those seriously hot jalapeños. The mango is sweet with a slight kick from the chillies and has all the flavours of the Caribbean.
Filled with crunchy vegetables and avocados this is a taco lover’s dream!
