Blackened Fish Tacos

Blackened Fish Tacos

Blackened fish tacos are a delicious and popular dish made with seasoned fish that is seared in a hot skillet until it becomes blackened, giving it a flavorful and slightly charred exterior. The fish is then typically served in a soft tortilla with various toppings such as shredded cabbage, fresh salsa, creamy sauces, and a squeeze of lime for a burst of citrusy taste.

Instructions
 

  • Combine the ingredients for the Blackened seasoning in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • To prepare the coleslaw, add the sliced cabbage, kale leaves (if using), and shredded carrot to a large, non-reactive bowl. Whisk the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, ground cumin, Dijon mustard, and lime juice together in a smaller bowl and pour over top of the other vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Generously season both sides of the mahi-mahi with the blackened seasoning and rub to cover the entire fish and to make sure it adheres well. Carefully slice the fish into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • Note: You can slice the fish before seasoning, but it takes longer to coat each piece individually and the blackened flavor will be much stronger if all sides are coated.
  • Add the olive oil to a large cast iron or other skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the seasoned fish and cook until opaque and flakey, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • To serve, evenly divide the creamy coleslaw and blackened fish between the 8 tortillas. Top with the sliced radishes and fresh cilantro leaves. If desired, drizzle some Creamy Avocado Sauce on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Use one 12-oz. bag of shredded coleslaw mix instead of the sliced vegetables to reduce prep time.
