Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 250 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the chopped chili, smoked paprika, and cumin to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute to release their flavors.
Add the tomato paste and mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Place the fish fillets into the skillet and break them apart with a spoon as they cook. Cook until the fish is opaque and fully cooked through, around 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 6 equal squares.
Spoon a generous amount of the fish filling onto the center of each square.
Fold the corners of each square toward the center, pinching them together to seal the tartlets.
Place the tartlets on the prepared baking tray and brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the tartlets to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Spicy Fish Tartlets warm!
