Blackened Fish Tacos with Nox

from The Gorgeous Spice Co

This is the time of year when dinner starts to shift a little. The food gets brighter. Lighter. A bit more spontaneous. Fish in a hot pan. A crisp slaw. Lime on the board. Something with a little smoke to pull it all together.

Ingredients

1 ½ lb haddock or halibut, cut into fillets
2 ½ Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp Nox (plus 1 tsp for sauce)
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
2 tsp lime juice
2 cups shredded lettuce
½ cup pico de gallo or salsa
Corn tortillas, warmed
Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

Season the fish generously with Nox spice blend and let it sit while you prepare the sauce.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and 1 tsp Nox until smooth. Chill until ready to use.

Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once foamy, add the fish in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply golden and just cooked through.

Break the fish into large pieces and layer onto warm tortillas. Top with lettuce, pico de gallo, and a good spoonful of sauce.

Finish with a squeeze of lime and serve right away.
