Blackened Rockfish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Tartar Sauce

Ingredients

Cilantro Lime Tartar Sauce

¾ cup tartar sauce (use your favorite brand)

¼ cup minced cilantro

2 tablespoons lime juice

Rockfish Tacos

1 ½ lb rockfish

2 tablespoons blackening spice (see notes)

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 tablespoon butter

2 cups shredded cabbage

12 4-inch tortillas (warmed)

Minced red onion, cilantro, and avocado slices, and lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions 

In a small bowl, mix the tartar sauce, cilantro, and lime juice.

Dry the rockfish with paper towels then season both sides with blackening spice.

Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the rockfish. Let it cook undisturbed for 4 minutes then give the pan a shake so the fish releases from the pan. Flip the rockfish over and let it cook for 2 more minutes then take the pan off of the heat and break the fish into many smaller pieces.

While the fish is cooking, make the slaw by mixing ¼ cup of the cilantro lime tartar sauce with the shredded cabbage.

To serve the tacos, pile some slaw on a warm tortilla, top with a few pieces of blackened rockfish, any or all of the toppings, and a spoonful of the cilantro lime tartar sauce.
