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.
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.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Generously coat both sides of the fish fillets with the Cajun seasoning, pressing it in slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add the fish to the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until dark and crusted.
Flip the fish and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove fish from the pan and break it into large, bite-sized chunks.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a low gas flame for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.
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.
