Method

1

Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.

2

Mix blackening spice in a shallow dish. Shred or thinly slice red cabbage; chop cilantro; cut lime into wedges.

3

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame until pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with a damp cloth.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking, about 2 minutes.

5

Dredge one fish fillet in blackening spice, coating both sides. Lay into the hot skillet and sear without moving for 3–4 minutes until a dark crust forms. Flip and sear the second side for 2–3 minutes until the flesh flakes easily. Transfer to a clean plate. Repeat with remaining fillets.

6

Lay a warm tortilla on a plate. Layer with a small handful of shredded cabbage, then flake or break apart one fish fillet and place it on top.

7

Drizzle with crema and hot sauce to taste. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
