Paprika = fat burning

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4x120g red mullet or sea bass fillets, skin on
• 120g mozzarella, chopped
• 8 chopped cherry tomatoes
• 4 spring onions, sliced
• 1 cos lettuce, finely chopped
• 4 corn tortillas

• 1 red onion, halved, skin on
• 1⁄2 tsp smoked paprika
• Juice of 1⁄2 lime
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1⁄2 tbsp honey

1 To make the salsa, char the tomatoes, garlic and onion on all sides in a smoking hot frying pan for about five minutes, until charred and tender. Remove from the heat. Once cooled, peel the onion and garlic. Season and blend until smooth in a food processor. Pour back into the frying pan over a medium heat; simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

2 Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat; add the fish, skin side down. Cook for two minutes, then flip over, turn off the heat and leave for another two minutes to finish cooking.

3 Flake the fish into the salsa, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, spring onions and lettuce; divide between the four tortillas. Roll into cones.
