Ingredients:
For the Mango Spicy Salsa:
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Hawaiian salt to taste
For the Mango Sweet Glaze:
- Mango scraps (from the mango used in salsa)
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
For the Fish Tacos:
- 2 unicorn fish fillets (substitute with any firm white fish if unavailable)
- Hawaiian salt to taste
- Blackening spice or a mix of pepper and salt for seasoning
- Cabbage, shredded, as needed
- Sour cream, as needed
- Avocado, sliced, as needed
- Corn tortillas
Equipment:
- Mixing bowls
- Blender or food processor
- Saute pan
- Cooking pot
- Squeeze bottle (optional for glaze)
- Knife and cutting board
Instructions:
1. Begin with the Mango Spicy Salsa by mixing the diced mangoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with Hawaiian salt to taste and set aside.
2. To make the Mango Sweet Glaze, place the mango scraps into a pot with water, vinegar, and sugar. Boil the mixture and reduce it to a glaze consistency. Once thickened, blend until smooth, add water if necessary to adjust the consistency, taste and add more sugar if desired. Strain and optionally pour into a squeeze bottle for easy application.
3. Season the unicorn fish fillets with Hawaiian salt and your choice of blackening spice or a mix of pepper and salt. In a saute pan over medium-high heat, sear the fish until it’s cooked through and has a nice crust on the exterior.
4. Assemble the tacos by warming the corn tortillas. Layer with shredded cabbage, followed by the seared fish, slices of avocado, and a generous dollop of sour cream.
5. Drizzle your tacos with the Mango Sweet Glaze and top them with the Mango Spicy Salsa.
6. Serve your Hawaiian Unicorn Fish Tacos immediately, accompanied by a squeeze of lemon for an extra zesty kick.
