Blackened Rockfish Tacos Food

BLACKENED FISH TACOS WITH AVOCADO SLAW

Steps:

• For the cabbage slaw: Add the 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, mayonnaise, garlic, avocado, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a food processor. Process until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water, 2 tablespoons at a time.
• In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with the 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, the green onions and the dressing. Let sit for 15 minutes.
• For the fish tacos: Mix together the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the fish and toss gently to coat.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapeseed oil and the fish and cook until the seasoning on the fish is blackened, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a plate.
• Top each tortilla with 2 slices of fish, about 1/4 cup of slaw and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

ROCKFISH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix ranch dressing and seafood seasoning together. Place rockfish on a rimmed baking sheet and brush fish with the ranch mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix coleslaw mix, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Arrange taco shells on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Separate cooked rockfish into 1- to 2-inch pieces. Place slaw inside taco shells and top with rockfish pieces. Serve immediately.

BLACKENED FISH TACOS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the fish.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fish in the hot skillet and cook until the outside has browned and fish is flaky, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and break fillets into pieces.
• Heat tortillas in the same skillet over low heat until warm, about 30 seconds per side.
• Prepare coleslaw: Combine coleslaw mix, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.
• Prepare avocado sauce: Combine avocado, cilantro, water, lime juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a blender or food chopper; blend until smooth. Stir in jalapenos.
• Evenly distribute the fish into each tortilla, add in some slaw, and top with a heaping spoon of the avocado sauce.

BLACKENED FISH TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt, brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the mixture as evenly as possible over both sides of the fish fillets.
• Combine all of the Avocado-Cilantro Sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until well-combined; set aside.
• Combine all of the Slaw ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the fillets (a few at a time if you can't fit them all at once). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the outside is blackened and the fish flakes apart easily. Note: try not to move them around so as to achieve a blackening affect. Too much movement, also, encourages the spice mixture to stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the fish from the heat, and if desired, warm the tortillas in the same skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side.
• Break up the cooked fillets into 2-3" pieces. Distribute the fish evenly between the tortillas and top with Slaw and Avocado-Cilantro Sauce. You may garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves and/or jalapeno, if desired.
