DELICIOUS SPICED FISH ON TOP OF A COOL AND CREAMY MEXICAN STYLE SLAW!
This Taco Bowl is a complete meal, full of healthy protein, fat, and fiber.
I was born in California and grew up with Mexican flavors. Since then, I have always had a thing for the cuisine. I love the bold seasonings, the spiciness, and of course all the avocado! This recipe has all of that. A cool creamy slaw, topped with a spicy blackened fish ontop.
As an option, I also like this bowl with prawns instead of fish. You would just season the prawns and cook them up in a skillet.

This Taco Bowl is a complete meal, full of healthy protein, fat, and fiber
PREPARATION TIME: 10 MIN COOKING TIME: 30 MIN TOTAL TIME: 34 MIN
INGREDIENTS
Roasted Sweet Potato
- 4 cups cubed sweet potato (buy precut to save time)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- salt to taste
Blackened Fish
- 4 pieces of white fish about 150grams each (I like this barramundi) or salmon
- 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp olive oil or ghee
Mexican Slaw
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 3 cups shredded purple & white cabbage (or buy a coleslaw mix)
- Creamy Avocado Lime Dressing
Garnish (optional)
- chopped cilantro
- fresh or pickled jalapenos
- salsa
- lime wedges
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (375F). Place the cubed sweet potato on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the cumin, salt, and paprika, and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until tender. (You can alternatively air fry at the same temp for 15 min)
- To make the coleslaw in a bowl combine the shredded cabbage and 1/4 cup chopped scallions. Pour approximately half of the dressing over the coleslaw and toss until its well coated. Set aside.
- To make the fish, on a plate mix together all the spices. Place the fish in the spice mixture and use your fingers to pat the spice onto the fish so that it’s well coated on all sides without skin. Heat the oil in a pan on medium-high heat and cook the fish for 3-4 minutes per side until golden in color and cooked through.
- Serve your fish, sweet potato and slaw together with any of the optional garnish.
- Enjoy!
