Ingredients:
Fish
- 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
- 1 tsp. grated garlic
- 4 cod fillets
- 1 tsp. grated peeled ginger
- 1 tsp. ground turmeric
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. paprika
Slaw
- 1 tsp. cumin seeds
- 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. honey
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 60g shredded red cabbage
- 1 c. fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1 c. grated carrot
- 1/3 c. thinly sliced red onion
Tzatziki & Assembly
- 1 Persian or English cucumber
- 150g Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 whole wheat buns
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Directions:
- Firstly, in a large bowl stir oil, lemon zest, garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt and paprika until a paste forms. Then add your fish and let it marinate until ready to cook.
- Next lightly crush cumin seeds with a measuring cup or small skillet. In a large heatproof bowl, combine cumin and oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until fragrant and just warmed through, 1 to 3 minutes total. Let cool slightly.
- Add lemon juice and honey; season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add cabbage, cilantro, carrot, and onion and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Finely grate cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a cloth or kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add yogurt, garlic, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; preheat 5 minutes (or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat). Lightly brush cut sides of buns with oil. Grill buns cut side down until warmed through and charred, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Grill fish, turning halfway through, until cooked through and charred. Finally, spread bottom bun with tzatziki. Top with fish and slaw. Close with remaining buns & enjoy!
