    For the fish, place haddock in a shallow baking dish, pat dry and season well with salt and pepper all over. In a small bowl mix together the pesto, paprika, cumin, oregano and chilli powder, until it makes a paste. Spread the paste over the fish. Cover with cling film and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.

    Meanwhile make the crema, place all of the ingredients into a small food processor or blender and blitz until smooth. Spoon into a small bowl and set aside for later.

    Now make the slaw, thinly slice the cabbage and place in a medium sized bowl. Grate the carrot and add them to the bowl. Slice the onions and scatter them over top. Stir in salt, pesto and 3 tablespoons prepared crema until everything is evenly coated. Let sit so cabbage can soften a bit, tossing occasionally to redistribute the sauce.

    To cook the fish, place the flour onto a plate. Scrape excess marinade from the fish, dip the fish lightly into the flour, to coat. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Shake off any excess flour before placing in the hot pan. Cook the fish for 2-3 minutes until browned on the bottom. Carefully flip the fish and cook for 1-2 minutes more on the other side, until fish is opaque and flakes easily, adding more oil as necessary. Do this in batches so as to not overcrowd the pan.

    To serve, pile fish onto tortillas, spoon over a good amount of slaw, drizzle on some avocado crema, scatter over some coriander, and squeeze over a bit of lime.
