Blackened Fish Tacos

Ingredients

  • 1 lb cod fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper adjust for heat
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or slaw mix
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.
  • Brush fish with olive oil on both sides, then coat generously with the spice mixture.
  • Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil if needed. Cook fish for 3-4 minutes per side, until blackened and cooked through. Remove and let rest for a minute, then flake into large pieces.
  • While the fish cooks, warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft.
  • Layer fish, cabbage, and a dollop of sour cream on each tortilla. Squeeze lime over the top and sprinkle with cilantro.
