Ingredients
  • 18-20 oz. mahi-mahi or other firm white fish
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Blackened Seasoning Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper* * Adjust amount of cayenne to reach desired level of heat
Coleslaw Ingredients:
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup. red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon spicy Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
Remaining Ingredients:
  • 4-5 large radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 8 8 inch corn tortillas
Instructions
  1. Combine the ingredients for the Blackened seasoning in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
  2. To prepare the coleslaw, add the sliced cabbage 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 vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and toss to combine. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
