Ingredients

For the Fish:

  • 4 pieces 4 oz each skinless firm white fish such as cod, snapper fillet, or mahi mahi (fresh is best, thawed if frozen)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoons lime chili seasoning, such as Tajin Classic

For the sauce:

  • 1/4 cup fat free Greek Yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1-2 tablespoons water, to thin
  • 3/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning salt, such as Tajin Classic
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Slaw:

Directions:

  1. Season fish with salt, ground cumin and Tajin.
  2. Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Toss the slaw ingredients together in a bowl and keep cold.
  4. Preheat a skillet on the stove, spray with olive oil, and add fish. Cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side until fish is just opaque and charred. Break up in large chunks.
