Preparation

  1. Combine oil and Fajita Spice Mix in a bowl. Add fish and toss to coat. Preheat barbecue and cook fish for 3 minutes either side or until charred & cooked through. Remove from barbecue, cover and set aside to keep warm. Brown limes on barbecue, cut side down.
  2. To create a deliciously fresh Salsa Verde, blend onion, jalapeno chili, lime juice (extra) coriander (leaves and stems) and olive oil in a small food processor or with a stick blender.

  4. Combine sour cream, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Serve blackened fish, charred limes and tortillas, cabbage, red onion and cucumber on a platter with Salsa Verde and seasoned sour cream. Fill your fajita with these delicious fillings any way you like!
