Scarfing down fish tacos by the beach captures the essence of California living—a true ode to summer for me. This dish is a mash-up between fish tacos and Chả Cá Lã Vọng—a Vietnamese dish featuring a sizzling platter of ginger-turmeric fish tossed in a fragrant mixture of scallions and loads of dill. Aromatic, crispy chunks of turmeric-y fish get tucked into tortillas and topped with a sweet, salty, funky nuoc cham salsa. For laid-back cooks, the big bonus here is the fun do-it-yourself element; serve your fish sizzling from the skillet with warm tortillas and toppings ready to go at the table for guests to assemble.
