Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
Blackened Cobia
- 2 6-8oz cobia fish fillets, skin off
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper or cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
Fish Taco Bowl
- 10 oz package frozen brown or white rice
- 8 oz pre-shredded slaw mix
- 1 sliced mango
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar or lime juice*
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2-1 teaspoon favorite hot sauce
- Optional: Cilantro, chopped tomatoes, chopped radish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and pepper. Pat both sides of the cobia with the spice mixture.
- Using a large pan, heat avocado oil over medium high heat. When oil is shimmering and hot, add the seasoned cobia and sear for 4-5 minutes, until blackened and crispy. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until blackened and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, honey, and olive oil in a large bowl. Toss in slaw mixture and stir till slaw is well-coated. Place in the fridge. The slaw will soften over the next 10-15 minutes.
- Mix together the mayonnaise and hot sauce and taste, adding more hot sauce for more spice. In a large bowl, place the rice and slaw at the bottom, serve the cobia fillet on top with mango, spicy mayo, and whatever other additions you like.
Notes
- Cobia can be substituted with cod, mahi mahi, or halibut. Some of these, like cod or halibut, may have a thicker fillet and will need to cook for longer. 145 degrees fahrenheit/ 63 celcius is what is recommended.
- To air fry cobia - oil the grates of your air fryer and place the seasoned cobia fillet on top. Air fry the cobia fillet at 400 degrees for about 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness.
- If you decide to cut the cobia into cubes, air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for roughly 5-6 minutes.
- For migraine elimination diet, use distilled white vinegar instead of lime juice.
- Suggested hot sauces are Sriracha, Cholula, or Franks.
