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
Spicy Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chipotle en adobo sauce
- 1/4 lime, juiced
- Water, as needed to thin
Slaw
- 5 cups slaw (red cabbage, white cabbage, shredded carrots)
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 lime, juiced
Garnish
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Fish: Spritz the fish all over with olive oil spray. Season evenly with the Cajun seasoning. Cut one lime into wedges and halve the remaining lime for juice.
- Make Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha or chipotle sauce, and the juice of 1/4 lime. Add a little water to thin the sauce until it’s easy to drizzle.
- Cook Fish: Air fry the fish at 400°F for 6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking for even crisping. Alternatively, heat a skillet on high, spray with oil, and cook the fish for 5 to 6 minutes until cooked through.
- Prepare Slaw: Meanwhile, toss the slaw with olive oil, kosher salt, and juice from the remaining 1/4 lime until well combined and lightly dressed.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the slaw evenly onto 4 plates. Add the cooked fish on the side and drizzle the spicy mayo over the fish.
- Serve: Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately for a fresh and delicious meal.
Notes
- This recipe offers a quick high-protein, low-carb meal ready in under 20 minutes.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, cooking the fish in a skillet on the stovetop works just as well.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning and spice level in the mayo to suit your taste preference.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor in both the slaw and spicy mayo.
