  • 1 lb White Fish used Rockfish
  • 1 cup Pico de Gallo
  • 1-2 Avocados
  • 16 oz Bag Cabbage Slaw
  • 1 Lime
  • ¼ cup Cilantro
  • 2-3 sprigs Green Onion
  • 4-6 Flour Tortillas or corn
  • 1 teaspoon Blackened Seasoning 1 teaspoon each paprika, garlic salt, pepper, harissa
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil

Creamy Remoulade Sauce

  • ¼ cup Mayo or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1.5 teaspoon Horseradish
  • ½ tsp Ole Bay Seasoning
  • 1-1.5 teaspoon Hot Sauce
  • ¼ tsp Worcester Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prepare remoulade sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl, stir and adjust seasoning to your taste. Set aside and let flavors marry.
  • Season fish with a ½ teaspoon of blackened seasoning on each side.
  • In a large skillet, heat to medium-high heat and add oil. Wait until pan is almost smoking hot and add fish to pan.
  • Do not disturb fish and let sear 2-3 minutes on each side until done.
  • While fish is searing drizzle 1 teaspoon of lemon juice on each side. Fish should create a tasty crust on both sides.
