Roasted Corn

Amba Sauce

Buttermilk Tahini

Aleppo Lime

Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Coat each fillet first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cod

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cod fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Roasted Corn Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Corn

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine corn kernels with olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 5

    Roast the Corn

    Spread the corn mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the corn is slightly charred and tender, stirring halfway through.

Schug Slaw Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded green cabbage and grated carrots. Add schug, lemon juice, and salt. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.

Amba Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Amba Sauce

    In a blender, combine the mango, white vinegar, cumin, turmeric, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Buttermilk Tahini Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Tahini Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and creamy.

Aleppo Lime Preparation

  1. 9

    Mix Aleppo Lime

    In a small bowl, combine Aleppo pepper and lime juice. Stir well to combine.

Assembly

  1. 10

    Assemble the Fish Shawarma

    On a serving plate, layer the fried cod, roasted corn, schug slaw, and drizzle with both the buttermilk tahini and amba sauce. Finish with the Aleppo lime on top.
