Barramundi Tacos

Ingredients

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2x 250g Australian barramundi fillet, skin removed and reserved
8 soft corn tortillas
4 cups, shredded or finely sliced red and white cabbage
Coriander leaves to garnish
Lime wedges to serve

Method

Add a little oil to a frypan and heat until smoking. Slice barramundi lengthways across the fillet into 1-inch pieces. Season and sear in the pan for 2 minutes on one side and 1 minute on the other. Remove to rest
Crisp the removed skin by adding a little more oil and holding it flat to the pan with a small weight. Cook until golden. Remove and chop into shards. This adds a lovely texture and crunch to the tacos
Heat more oil in a frypan and cook tortillas for 1 minute on each side until golden
To build your tacos, place your cabbage slaw at the base of the tortilla. Add barramundi, then the crema and top with salsa. Garnish with coriander leaves and crispy barramundi skin. Serve with lime wedges
