Best Cod Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa

Aren't you happy Taco Tuesdays are a thing? Do we make them every Tuesday? No, do you? Is taco Tuesday a good reminder that we need more tacos in our lives? Absolutely. Ever since I can remember I loveeeeed tacos. On one hand, they are this simple clean-out-the-fridge kind of meal, but on the other hand, a really good taco deserves a lot of credit. Lately, we have been playing around with fish tacos and Cod was our fish of choice. It's inexpensive, healthy and cooked incredibly fast. Plus, the seasoning doesn't overpower it, nor does it leave it bland and boring. For extra flavoring, we made a simple frying batter, coated the fish in it, then fried it for about 2 - 3 minutes. Now all that's left to do is to make delicious, homemade mango salsa and toast some corn (or wheat) tortillas in a pan. Quick and Easy midweek dinner, perfect for any day of the year.

How long do you cook cod for fish tacos

Cod is such a great fish for easy fish tacos. It's inexpensive, full of healthy fats and it's quickly cooked (or in our case fried). The seasoning is what makes it even better and tastier.

Fry the cod for approximately 2 - 3 minutes in vegetable oil (175 °C / 350 °F) or until golden and crispy.

What to serve with fish tacos

We love to serve fried codfish tacos with homemade mango salsa. It's made of many delicious ingredients, such as tomatoes, spring onion, sweet corn, spicy chili, lime, cilantro, and of course, fresh mango. We love to toast the corn (or wheat) tortillas before serving them and then just before serving the codfish tacos, we like to drizzle them with some plain yogurt or yogurt sauce (combine 3 tbsp of greek yogurt with some salt, pepper, chopped herbs, and tabasco sauce) and sprinkle with fresh cilantro/coriander or parsley. If you would like to try something else, you can try this Gremolata sauce or this Chimichurri sauce as well.

Frying Batter

In a bowl whisk together an egg and ice cold water. Gradually (in three additions) add the all-purpose flour while whisking constantly. Add the second addition only after the previous one has been completely incorporated. Dip the cod slices into the egg mixture, then transfer to a plate.

Optionally sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or coriander/cilantro. Serve as soon as possible.
