Description

A flavorful and quick Fish Taco Bowl featuring tender Cajun-seasoned fish fillets served over a vibrant cabbage slaw, drizzled with a spicy sriracha mayo sauce. Perfect for a light and satisfying meal ready in just 15 minutes.

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, juiced
  • Water, as needed to thin the 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, juiced

Garnish

  • Lime wedges from 1 lime
  • Cilantro, optional

Instructions

  1. Prep the Fish: Spritz the fish pieces all over with olive oil spray. Season them evenly with Cajun seasoning. Cut one lime into wedges for serving and halve the other for juicing.
  2. Make Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha or chipotle sauce, and juice of 1/4 lime. Add a little water gradually until the sauce is thin enough to drizzle easily over the fish later.
  3. 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 cooking to ensure even crisping. Alternatively, heat a skillet on high heat, spray with olive oil, and cook the fish for 5 to 6 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Prepare the Slaw: While the fish cooks, toss the slaw mix with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, juice from the remaining half lime, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt until well combined.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the slaw onto four plates. Add the cooked fish alongside the slaw. Drizzle the spicy mayo sauce generously over the fish. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute the fish with shrimp or chicken if preferred.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, cooking the fish in a hot skillet works just as well.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha or chipotle for desired spice level.
  • Fresh lime juice brightens the flavors and balances the richness of the mayo.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
