  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • ¼ cup fine cornmeal (optional)
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt

Pineapple Slaw

  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • ¾ cup thinly shredded red cabbage

For Serving

  • 6 medium corn tortillas (use sub flour tortillas or grain-free tortillas as needed)
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Cut fish into long strips or small bite-size pieces and place them on a plate. Sprinkle with avocado oil and toss to coat. Season both sides freely with chili powder and salt and sprinkle with cornmeal (for added crunch optional). Once fish is seasoned, set it aside.
