Fish Taco Bowl
Description
This Fish Taco Bowl recipe uses small pieces of boneless, skinless fish such as blackfish, cod, or mahi mahi seasoned with Cajun spices and spritzed with olive oil. The fish is air fried at 400°F for 6 minutes, shaking halfway through, or cooked in a hot skillet with oil for 5 to 6 minutes if no air fryer is available. Cooking methods yield flaky cooked fish with well-seasoned crust.
The accompanying slaw combines red and white cabbage with shredded carrots, seasoned with lime juice, olive oil, and kosher salt for a crisp, tangy base. A drizzle of mayo blended with sriracha and lime juice adds a spicy, creamy component to the assembled bowl.
The bowl is served with lime wedges and an optional cilantro garnish, offering a balance of heat, acidity, and crunch. This dish captures the flavors of classic fish tacos without tortillas, making for a light and fresh meal option that works well for lunch or dinner.
