Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g. cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Paprika - 1 tablespoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Sour cream - 60 grams
• Cabbage, finely shredded - 1 cup
• Cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Avocado, sliced - 1 medium
• Lettuce leaves (for wraps) - 4 large leaves

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
2. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Add the seasoned fish fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
5. While the fish is resting, prepare the lime crema by mixing sour cream and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and chopped cilantro. Add lime juice, salt, and toss to combine.
7. To assemble the tacos, place a few pieces of blackened fish on a lettuce leaf, top with the cabbage slaw, avocado slices, and a drizzle of lime crema.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious blackened fish tacos!
