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 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)
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the fish: Spritz the fish pieces all over with olive oil spray and season them generously with Cajun seasoning. Cut one lime into wedges for serving and halve the other lime for juicing in the sauce and slaw.
- Make the spicy mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha (or chipotle sauce), and juice of 1/4 lime. Add a small amount of water to thin the sauce to a drizzling consistency, mixing well.
- Cook the fish: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Place the seasoned fish pieces in the basket and air fry for 6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Alternatively, heat a skillet over high heat, spray with oil, and cook the fish for 5 to 6 minutes until cooked through.
- Prepare the slaw: While the fish cooks, combine the slaw mix with olive oil, kosher salt, and juice from the remaining half lime. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the slaw among four plates. Place the cooked fish on the side and drizzle the spicy mayo sauce over the fish pieces.
- Serve: Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro if using. Serve immediately while the fish is warm.
Notes
- If you don’t have an air fryer, cooking the fish in a skillet is a great alternative.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning according to your spice preference.
- You can substitute the fish with any firm white fish you prefer.
- For a dairy-free version, use a vegan mayonnaise.
- Serve with warm tortillas if you prefer traditional tacos.
