This Blackened Fish Sandwich features flaky, seasoned fish with a smoky kick, topped with creamy avocado slaw. The fish is pan-seared for a crisp exterior, while the tangy slaw adds a fresh contrast. Served on a toasted bun, it's a perfect balance of spice, texture, and flavor.

Ingredients

    Blackened Fish:

    • 4 filets Wild Alaska Cod or Wild Pacific Halibut (one filet per person)
    • 2+ tbsp olive oil, divided
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • ½ tsp dried oregano
    • ½ tsp garlic powder
    • salt and pepper
    • buns of choice

    Avocado Slaw:

    • 2 cups slaw mix or chopped green cabbage
    • 1 ripe avocado
    • ¼ cup mayo
    • 2 tbsp sweet relish
    • juice of 1 lemon
    • salt and pepper

    Directions

      Avocado Slaw:

      1. In a blender or food processor, add the mayo, avocado, relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
      2. Pour the mixture over shredded cabbage or slaw mix and toss to combine.
      3. Store in the fridge until ready to serve and after if you have leftovers.

      Blackened Fish:

      1. Thaw cod or halibut filets and pat dry.
      2. In a small bowl, mix the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
      3. Drizzle olive oil over the fish and pat the seasoning on both sides until evenly covered.
      4. In a skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil and once hot, cook the fish until it is blackened and seared, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, another 3-5 minutes.
      5. While the fish cooks, toast the buns.
      6. Add a scoop of avocado slaw to the bottom of each bun. Top with the cooked fish and any other toppings or sauces of your choice.
