1 c daikon
2 T apple cider vinegar
1 T sugar or honey
1 lime
to taste salt and pepper
3 T mayonnaise
1/4 – 1/2 t Sriracha

Directions

Preparation time: Approximately 30 minutes
Yields: 4 tacos

For Fish:

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick pan
  2. Batter your haddock fillets from Afishionado with your bread crumb of choice and add some extra seasoning to maximize flavour!
  3. Whisk 1-2 whole eggs with your fork for a few seconds to break the yolk.
  4. Take your haddock fillets and pat them dry with paper towel
  5. Dredge your fillets in through the egg wash on both sides and then dredge them through the seasoned bread or panko crumbs. Ensure they are coated well.
  6. Fry your fish until the sides are golden brown and cooked through. 3-4 minutes per side. Depending on the thickness of your fillets you may have to finish them off in the oven at 350 for 5-7 more minutes. They are cooked when the center of the fish is white, moist and flakey.
