Blackened Flounder With Mango Slaw Recipes

BLACKENED FISH TACOS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, add the yogurt, avocado, cilantro, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeños, mint, salt, and pepper. Puree until smooth and creamy. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Place the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Add 1/2 a cup of the avocado-lime dressing from the food processor and stir to combine. Add more dressing if you would like a creamier slaw. If not, you can use the extra dressing to top the tacos later. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the Sriracha Aioli. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• If you would like to toast the tortillas (highly recommended if you are using corn tortillas)* heat a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, warm each tortilla 1 to 2 minutes per side - you want to heat the tortillas just enough to slightly char and add a bit of crispness, but not so much that when you fold it, it cracks. Wrap the tortillas in a clean tea towel to keep warm and set aside.
• On a large plate, combine all of the spices to make the blackened seasoning. Dredge both sides of each fish fillet in the spice mixture. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. At the first wisp of smoke from the pan, add the fillets, working in batches if needed. Cook for 2 -3 minutes on each side. (Do not move the fish fillets around while they're cooking. Leave them be until they're ready to flip). Transfer the cooked fillets to a cutting board and slice each fillet in-half, vertically - making 8 pieces.
• To serve, top each tortilla with the fish, avocado-lime slaw, jalapeños, cilantro, and drizzle with the Sriracha aioli. Serve with extra wedges of lime and enjoy!

BLACKENED FLOUNDER: AIR FRYER & OVEN BAKED OPTIONS

Steps:

• Spread an ample amount (around 3-4 tablespoons) of blackening spice to the bottom of a large plate. Place each fish fillet on the spice-filled plate and coat both sides of the fish with the spice until it is fully covered on all sides with the spice.
• Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with cooking spray and then carefully place the fish fillets in the bottom of the air fryer basket with a spatula. Spray the top of each piece of fish with a light coating of cooking spray and close up the air fryer.
• Set your air fryer to cook for 4 minutes at 400*F. Take the basket from the air fryer, use your spatula to flip each flounder fillet over to the other side, place the air fryer basket back in the air fryer, and cook for another 4 minutes at 400*F.
• Check to make sure that the internal temperature of your fish reaches 145*F before removing from the air fryer. Allow the fish to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing the pieces from the air fryer, garnishing, and serving while still warm!
