Fish and White Bean Tostadas
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for baking sheet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound white fish fillets, like tilapia, flounder, sole, skin discarded and cut into finger-sized pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
Sour cream, for garnish
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, zest, garlic and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the fish in a baking dish and pour the marinade on top. Marinate for no more than 15 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler or grill. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil. Remove the fish from the marinade and arrange on the baking sheet, making sure to leave space between the pieces. Broil until just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas, 1 at a time, just until crisp, flipping halfway through to brown both sides. Drain on paper towels and salt while still hot. To assemble the tostadas: Layer each tostada first with my Sauteed White Beans, then the fish. Top with the shredded cabbage and my Pineapple and Avocado Salsa. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of a lime wedge.
