Fresh & Light: Crisp cabbage slaw and a tangy crema keep the tacos bright and refreshing, perfect for brunch.
Customizable: Swap fish, adjust heat, or add extra toppings—this recipe welcomes your personal twist.
Preparing the Fish & Spice Rub
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels; moisture hinders the formation of a good crust. In a shallow dish combine all blackening spice mix ingredients. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the fish, pressing gently so the spices adhere. Let the seasoned fish rest for 5‑10 minutes—this brief pause allows the flavors to penetrate and the surface to dry slightly, which is key for a sizzling sear.
