    Things To Grab

    • Paper towels
    • Small bowl
    • 10-inch skillet
    • Meat thermometer
    • Slotted spoon
    • Small saucepan
    • Colander

    Directions

    1. Pat fish dry. Combine Adobo seasoning, paprika, and cumin. Rub mixture all over fish.

    2. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook fish in batches for 2 to 4 minutes or just until fish flakes when tested with a fork (145 degrees), turning to brown evenly. Remove fish with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    3. Meanwhile, combine water, vinegar, coriander seed, and peppercorns in saucepan. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat. Stir in radishes, carrot, and jalapeno pepper. Let stand 5 minutes; drain, discarding whole spices.

      Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
      Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.
