Ingredients
For the fish
- 4 white fish fillets (cod, haddock or mahi-mahi)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
Fresh Mango Salsa
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- ½ red onion, finely diced
- 1 small red chilli, finely chopped
- Fresh coriander, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
To Serve
- Small corn tortillas
- Shredded red cabbage
- Sliced avocado
- Lime wedges
- Fresh coriander
Step 1: Prepare the Mango Salsa
Combine the diced mango, red onion, chilli, coriander and lime juice in a bowl. Season lightly with salt and allow it to sit for around 15 minutes so the flavours can develop.
Step 2: Season the Fish
Mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper and lime juice. Coat the fish evenly and leave to marinate for 15–20 minutes.
Step 3: Fire Up Your Broil King
Preheat your Broil King barbecue to medium-high heat (around 200–220°C).
The Flav-R-Wave™ cooking system helps deliver even heat while adding that unmistakable barbecue flavour without drying out delicate fish.
Lightly oil the cooking grids before placing the fillets on the barbecue.
Step 4: Grill the Fish
Cook the fish for approximately 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
The fish should be lightly charred on the outside while remaining moist and flaky inside. Avoid turning it more than once to help it hold together.
Step 5: Warm the Tortillas
Place the tortillas directly onto the grill for around 20–30 seconds per side until warm and lightly toasted.
Step 6: Assemble Your Tacos
Fill each tortilla with:
- Shredded red cabbage
- Grilled fish
- Fresh mango salsa
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh coriander
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime.
Serving Suggestion
Pair these tacos with grilled sweetcorn, tortilla chips and a chilled drink for the perfect summer barbecue feast.
Fresh, colourful and incredibly easy to prepare, they're proof that barbecue cooking goes far beyond burgers and sausages.
Fire up your Broil King and bring fresh summer flavours to your table. 🔥🌮
