Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 200 grams
  • Coconut milk - 100 ml
  • Curry powder - 1 tablespoon
  • Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter) - 4 large leaves
  • Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
  • Salt - to taste
  • Pepper - to taste

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix the coconut milk, curry powder, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated fish to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Once cooked, remove the fish from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
  5. To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf and add some flaked fish, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
