    Ingredients
     

    • 4 Gorton's Crispy Battered Fish Fillets
    • 1 cup of guacamole
    • 4 green plantains peeled
    • Canola or vegetable oil for frying
    • Salt to taste
    • ½ head small green cabbage
    • ¼ red onion
    • ½ cup ripe mango peeled and diced
    • ½ small jalapeño finely chopped and seeded
    • ¼ cup diced fresh tomato
    • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    • Juice of 2 limes
    • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • Salt and ground pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare Gorton's Crispy Battered Fish Fillets according to package instructions.
    • Meanwhile, make the Fried Plantains: In a large sauce pan, add enough oil to cover the plantains and heat the oil over medium high heat.
    • Add the plantains to the heated oil. Fry until they start to get yellow, but not golden, about 7 to 9 minutes per side. Carefully remove the plantains with a slotted spoon, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
    • Let the plantains cool for 3 minutes. Then, place the plantains on a piece of plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. With a flat pot cover, press the plantains well, flattening them to about ¼ inches thickness. It is best to do this while they are still warm.
    • Then using tongs, add them back in the hot oil, two at the time, and fry for an additional 3 minutes on each side.
    • Remove the plantains with slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb oil. Sprinkle with salt, to taste, and transfer to a serving plate.
    • To make the Slaw: Finely shred the cabbage and onion. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and vinegar and whisk with a fork to blend. Add the sugar and season with salt and pepper.
    • In a large bowl, toss the cabbage, onion, mango, jalapeuño, tomato and cilantro with the dressing.
    • To assemble: Spread the guacamole on top of the fried plantains.
    • Add the fish and top with the mango slaw. Serve immediately.
