Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
• Tamarind paste - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Red cabbage, shredded - 1 cup
• Cilantro, chopped - 1/4 cup
• Radishes, thinly sliced - 4 pieces
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Avocado, sliced - 1/2 piece

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine tamarind paste, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black 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. While the fish marinates, prepare the toppings by shredding the red cabbage, chopping the cilantro, and slicing the radishes and avocado.
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and cook in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.
6. To assemble the tacos, place a piece of cooked fish on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, cilantro, radish slices, and avocado.
7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
