CRISPY OVEN-BAKED-FISH WRAPS



Crispy Oven-Baked-Fish Wraps image

Shake up the standard fish fry night with this meal. Much easier than deep-frying, strips of firm white fish are coated in panko and baked in the oven until crisp on the outside and flaky and tender on the inside. Serve with soft flour tortillas and coleslaw mix for a fun weeknight dinner.

1 cup panko
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound skinless cod or halibut fillets (3 to 4), cut into 1-inch strips

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups diced, peeled Yukon Gold potatoes
2 medium yellow onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 ripe tomatoes, cored, seeded and diced
1 bunch oregano, leaves only, chopped
1 cup chopped pitted green olives
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup vegetable oil
18 small corn tortillas, recipe follows
6 ounces red snapper or sea bass fillet, about 1-inch thick, washed and dried
2 limes, cut in wedges for garnish
4 cups finely ground deep yellow masa harina
2 3/4 cups cold water
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In large skillet heat olive oil over high heat. Saute potatoes, shaking the pan frequently, until golden brown, about 5 -7 minutes. With slotted spoon transfer to a mixing bowl. In same skillet saute onions, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute. Add tomatoes, oregano, and cook an additional minute. Remove from heat and stir in olives. Add mixture to mixing bowl. Add pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.
  • Heat the grill or preheat oven to 450 degrees. In another skillet, heat vegetable oil until hot, but not smoking. Using tongs, dip each tortilla in the oil, and cook for about 30 seconds each side. Drain on a paper towel. Season fish fillet with salt and pepper. On tin foil, arrange 3 tortillas so they overlap in the center to form a triangle. Place fish fillet in the center. Divide potato mixture into 6 parts and mound 1 portion evenly over the fillet. Fold over tortillas to enclose the stuffing, forming a triangle. Wrap the fish in tin foil. Repeat the wrapping and mounding process with the remaining fillets. To grill, cook 9 minutes on each side on a moderately hot spot on the grill. To bake, place the packets directly on the oven rack and cook for 20 - 25 minutes.
  • To serve, unwrap and discard the foil and, with a spatula, transfer the fish to plates. Open the tortillas to resemble the leaves of a flower. Though they can be eaten, the real purpose of the tortillas is to add moisture and flavor. Serve with lime wedges as garnish.
  • In large bowl combine all ingredients and stir until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky and form a ball when pressed together. To test, flatten a small of dough between your palms. If the edges crack, add water to the dough, a tablespoon at a time, until a test piece does not crack. Divide the dough into 24 golf ball size pieces for tacos and 23 large bowls for quesadillas. Place on a platter and cover with a damp towel. Toast or fry as desired.

FISH TACO WRAP



Fish Taco Wrap image

This was a quick dinner I came up with. You can use any white fish. I used tilapia, but I might use haddock or cod next time. For the salsa, all I had on hand was Rotel tomatoes, which turned out good and spicy! You might find the cream cheese a bit weird as an ingredient. If so, you can omit that. This is for one serving, but easy to expand for more. See NOTE at the bottom for another way to prepare.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 burrito-size flour tortilla
1 -2 tablespoon light cream cheese
1 -2 tablespoon salsa
1 small white fish fillet, cooked
1 slice cheddar cheese (or American)
1/2 cup shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Place a tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.
  • Spread cream cheese, then salsa on top.
  • Add Fish on top of salsa, then the slice of cheese and lettuce.
  • Microwave 30 seconds. This makes it easier to fold tortilla around filling.
  • Fold up burrito style, or like a large egg roll.
  • Enjoy!
  • NOTE: I find that the salsa tastes best at room temperature. If you want this sandwich warm, Bake at 400 for 5-10 minutes. I just threw mine together after the fish was cooked, and I found it very satisfying.

FISH TACO WRAPS

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 2 limes (1/4 cup)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 green cabbage, sliced (about 8 cups)
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Canola oil, for frying
1 pound catfish or other firm white fish fillets, cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces (about 24 total)
3 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1/4 cup pilsner or lager beer
1/4 cup hot sauce, plus additional for assembly and serving
Four 10-inch tortillas, such as flour, spinach or sun-dried tomato
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup crumbled tortilla chips
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup sour cream, the mayonnaise, lime juice, cayenne, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and cilantro and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat 1/2 inch of the oil in a cast-iron skillet to 345 degrees F. Lay out the fish pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, flour and baking powder in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine the egg, beer, hot sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning in a second bowl. Dip the fish in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture. Working in batches, fry in the hot oil, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
  • Lay out 1 tortilla on your work surface. Pile the following ingredients on top of each other in the middle of the tortilla in this order: 1 cup slaw, 6 pieces of the fried fish, a quarter of the avocado slices, a quarter of the crumbled tortilla chips and a quarter of the radishes. Smear 1 tablespoon of the remaining sour cream on the tortilla next to the avocado and add a few dashes of hot sauce; this will act as the glue to keep help keep everything together.
  • Carefully roll up the tortilla into a burrito and place seam-side down on your work surface. Insert 6 evenly-spaced skewers crosswise through the roll. Using a serrated knife, trim and discard the very ends of the roll (or eat them), and then slice between the skewers to create 6 skewered rounds. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
