Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp thyme
- 1 lb. barramundi, mahi mahi, or cod, skin removed
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced (about ¼ cup)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro
- 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 lime)
- 6 small (6-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, and thyme.
- Rub spice mix all over both sides of the fish.
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place fish in the pan and immediately add butter. Cook fish for about 4 minutes on one side to blacken, flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side. Remove to plate to rest for a few minutes.
- While fish is cooking, put shredded cabbage, red onion, scallions, cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Toss to combine.
- Warm tortillas on both sides in a skillet over high heat or in a microwave.
- Put some of the cabbage mixture on each tortilla. Using a fork, flake fish and put over the cabbage. Top with tomatoes and cheese.
