Method

  1. For the salsa, rub the corn with a little olive oil and salt. Braai or grill until cooked through and lightly charred, then cut the kernels off the cob.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the charred corn, jalapeño, mandarin segments, tomatoes, red onion and coriander. Season well with salt and pepper, squeeze over the juice of 1 lime and toss to combine.

  3. Place the fish on a baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle over the spices. Rub the spices well into the fish to coat on all sides.

  4. Pan fry the fish over medium-high heat until golden brown and slightly charred. Using a spatula, turn the fish over gently and continue cooking until just cooked through.

  5. Remove the fish and let it rest for 5 minutes before flaking into bite-sized pieces.

  6. To assemble, swish a dollop of sour cream onto each tortilla. Top with a little shredded cabbage, the grilled fish and a generous spoonful of salsa.

  7. Fold and eat with a squeeze of lime juice.
