Blackened Fish Tacos

The only thing that rivals my family’s love of tacos is their love of fish of any kind. So I decided to make some Blackened Fish Tacos and some fun toppings like broccoli slaw for crunch and of course you have to have some pico de gallo! The fish was so flavorful and spicy, but the heat was mellowed out by the Crema and Avocados. Hope you’ll give this a try

1 ½ lbs - 2 lbs of cod fillets

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp coriander

¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

2 tbsp olive oil

olive oil cooking spray

8 -10 flour or corn tortillas

2 Limes quartered for serving

Slaw

1 package of broccoli slaw

½ cup cilantro leaves + extra for serving (pick the leaves of the stems and leave whole)

Juice of 1 lime

Crema

1 cup sour cream

3 tbsp milk

Zest and juice of one lime and Pinch salt

Pico de Gallo

3 Roma Tomatoes, deseeded and diced

⅔ cup White Onion, finely diced

1 Jalapeño or Serrano Pepper, deseed and membranes removed

🌟Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy clean up later) and spray with cooking spray over where the fillets will be placed.

🌟whisk all the dry rub ingredients together. Brush the fillets with oil and rub the seasoning all over the cod fillets. You will have leftover rub, just keep it in a sealed bag for future use.

🌟Bake at 425°F for 12-14 minutes or until fish flakes easily. If your fillets are on the thin side check at about 10 minutes.

🌟While the fish bakes, combine all of the Slaw ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

🌟Make the Crema, Pico de Gallo, and prepare the avocado slices.

🌟Warm the tortillas in the oven wrapped in foil for a few minutes.

🌟Create your fish tacos and enjoy!
