  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder

  • Cooked rice or quinoa (about 3-4 cups)
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado or guacamole, diced tomatoes, pickled red onions, jalapeño slices, extra cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fish by cutting it into 1-inch strips. Set up three bowls: one with seasoned flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko mixed with spices.
  2. Dredge the fish in flour, dip in egg wash, then coat in panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the fish until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  4. In another bowl, combine cabbage mix and carrots. Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper for the dressing; toss it with the slaw.
  5. Assemble each bowl by layering cooked rice or quinoa at the bottom topped with crispy fish and slaw.
