Ingredients
Scale
Fish
- 4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless fish fillets (such as blackfish, cod, mahi mahi), cut into 1 inch pieces
- Olive oil spray
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, or more to taste
Spicy Mayo Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chipotle en adobo sauce
- 1/4 lime (juice)
- Water, as needed to thin sauce
Slaw
- 5 cups slaw mix (red cabbage, white cabbage, shredded carrots)
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 lime (juice)
Garnish
- Lime wedges (from 1 lime)
- Cilantro, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish: Spritz the fish pieces all over with olive oil spray. Then season all sides evenly with Cajun seasoning. Cut one lime into wedges for serving and halve the other lime for juicing.
- Make the Spicy Mayo Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha or chipotle sauce, and the juice from one quarter of the lime. Add a small amount of water gradually to thin the sauce until it can be easily drizzled over the fish.
- Cook the Fish: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Place the seasoned fish pieces in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Alternatively, heat a skillet over high heat, spray with olive oil, and cook the fish for about 5-6 minutes total, turning as needed, if you don’t have an air fryer.
- Prepare the Slaw: While the fish cooks, combine the slaw mix with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, the juice of half a lime, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the slaw evenly among four plates. Arrange the cooked fish alongside the slaw. Drizzle the spicy mayo sauce over the fish pieces.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve each bowl with lime wedges on the side for extra tang. Garnish with cilantro if desired. Enjoy your vibrant fish taco bowl!
Notes
- The recipe works great without an air fryer; a hot skillet can be used as an alternative cooking method.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste depending on your preferred spice level.
- For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of sriracha or chipotle sauce.
- To keep it gluten-free, ensure all seasonings and sauces used are gluten-free certified.
- Serve immediately after cooking for best texture and flavor.
