  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 limes, juiced and zested

Instructions

1. Marinate the fish by tossing with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Season with salt and black pepper. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

3. Prepare the lime crema by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice and zest, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

4. For the slaw, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
