Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 46 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
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chipotle en adobo sauce
  • 2 limes
  • 5 cups slaw red cabbage, white cabbage and shredded carrots
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • cilantro optional

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Spritz fish all over with olive oil spray. Season all over with Cajun seasoning. Cut 1 lime into wedges and halve the other.
  2. Combine mayonnaise and sriracha or chipotle and squeeze 1/4 of the lime. Add a little water until it’s easy to drizzle later.
  3. Air fry the fish for 6 minutes at 400°F, shaking the basket halfway.
  4. Meanwhile, combine slaw with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, remaining half lime, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
  5. Divide slaw on 4 plates, add fish on the side, and drizzle the spicy mayo over the fish.
  6. Serve with lime wedges and garnish with cilantro.
  7. No air fryer? No problem! Heat a skillet on high heat, spray with olive oil, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat the fish in the air fryer for the best results.
  • Freezing: If you want to prepare ahead, you can freeze the fish fillets before cooking. Just thaw them in the fridge the night before cooking.
  • Pairing: Serve these bowls with a side of tortilla chips and your favorite salsa for a complete meal.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the fish with grilled vegetables or tofu for a tasty vegetarian version.
  • Extra Toppings: Add toppings like diced avocado, jalapeños, or pickled onions for additional flavor and texture.
  • Spices Adventure: Experiment with different spice blends like taco seasoning or even curry powder for a unique twist.
