Blackened Cajun Fish Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

These vibrant tacos feature flaky white fish coated in a bold homemade Cajun spice rub and seared until blackened. Topped with a fresh, sweet, and tangy pineapple salsa, they offer the perfect balance of heat and refreshing flavor for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

1 lb white fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or mahi-mahi)
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
8 small corn tortillas
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups purple cabbage, shredded

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the salsa by combining the diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and half of the lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside to let flavors meld.

  2. 2

    Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

  3. 3

    Generously coat both sides of the fish fillets with the Cajun seasoning, pressing it in slightly.

  4. 4

    Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Add the fish to the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until dark and crusted.

  6. 6

    Flip the fish and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  7. 7

    Remove fish from the pan and break it into large, bite-sized chunks.

  8. 8

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a low gas flame for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.

  9. 9

    Assemble the tacos: place a handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, top with the blackened fish chunks, and finish with a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
