Flaky black drum fish is blackened and pan seared, piled on tortillas, and topped with a sweet-and-spicy mango salsa. You can always swap out the fish with red drum or red snapper to get a similar taste and texture.

Serves two.

Ingredients

  • 2 (6-ounce) skinless black drum filets
  • olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons blackened seasoning
  • corn tortillas
  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cups red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 whole serrano, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Preparation

  • Rinse filets and pat dry with paper towels. Season with blackened seasoning and set aside.
  • Shred red cabbage into thin slices. Season generously with salt and place in the fridge to chill (wilt).
  • In a small bowl, place diced tomatoes, onions, mango and chopped cilantro. Mix together and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in olive oil. Once heated, place the drum Filets, seasoned side down, in the pan to get a nice sear. Once golden brown and seared, flip over and continue to cook through. Once the filets are thoroughly cooked, transfer to a plate and break into large chunks.
