Blackened Drum Fish Tacos
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.
