Fish Tacos with Papaya Slaw RECIPE COURTESY OF GEOFFREY ZAKARIAN Level: Intermediate Total: 10 hr 5 min (includes pickling time) Active: 1 hr 5 min Yield: 4 servings Ingredients Slaw: 1 small slightly underripe papaya 3 cups shredded green cabbage 1 cup daikon or white radish matchsticks (see Cook's Note) 1 Thai red chile, thinly sliced 1 clove garlic, grated 3 tablespoons lime juice plus 1 teaspoon lime zest 2 tablespoons fish sauce 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar Kosher salt Fish: 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 1/2 pounds skinless red snapper fillets or other thin flaky white fish fillets Oil, for cooking Crema: 1/2 cup crema 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle and adobo sauce 1 teaspoon hot sauce To Serve: 12 street-taco-size flour tortillas, warmed 2 avocados, sliced Pickled Red Onions, recipe follows 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves Lime wedges Pickled Red Onions: 1 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup sugar 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon pickling spice 1 red onion, thinly sliced into rings Directions For the slaw: Peel the papaya, then slice in half and remove the seeds. Shred into 2 cups of matchsticks and put in a large bowl (see Cook's Note). Add the cabbage and daikon and toss to mix. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, mix the chile, garlic, lime juice and zest, fish sauce, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon water and salt to taste. Pour the dressing over the slaw and slightly massage to coat. Set aside. For the fish: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, salt, coriander, cumin, paprika and garlic powder. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of the fish. Heat a griddle pan over medium heat. Oil the griddle, and cook one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the fish over and remove the griddle from the heat. Allow the fish to finish cooking from the residual heat until it flakes easily, another 3 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate, then season with more salt and break into large pieces. Make the crema: Whisk the crema, chipotle and adobo and hot sauce together. Set aside. To serve: Top each tortilla with avocado, fish, Pickled Onions, papaya slaw, crema, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Pickled Red Onions: Yield: Makes 3 cups Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, pickling spice and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the pan and stir to combine. Bring back to a simmer, then turn off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a resealable container and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 weeks. Cook’s Note If you have a mandoline slicer, use the julienne blade attachment to cut the papaya and daikon.
