Method

1

Pat mahi-mahi fillets dry with paper towels.

2

In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

3

Coat both sides of each fillet evenly with the spice mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.

4

Heat coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

5

Carefully place fillets in the hot skillet and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until the crust is dark and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Avoid moving the fish once it hits the pan.

6

Transfer cooked fish to a cutting board.

7

Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or over a gas flame.

8

Break or flake the blackened fish into bite-sized pieces.

9

Place fish on each tortilla and top with red cabbage, avocado slice, and a dollop of crema.

10

Serve with lime wedges, salsa, cilantro, and jalapeño slices on the side.
