Hey there, folks! Today I'm sharing my recipe for Cajun spiced fish tacos that will knock your socks off. Trust me, you're in for a treat! First things first, let's talk about that cajun spice and cayenne pepper marinade. It's what gives the fish that extra kick of flavor. One time, I accidentally added too much cayenne pepper and let me tell you, it was a spicy disaster! So, my tip for you is to go easy on the cayenne if you're not a big fan of heat. Now, onto the cooking. Coat your fish with the spicy mix and fry it up until it's golden and delicious. Pro tip: if your pan is too small, fry the fish in batches. I learned this the hard way when I overcrowded the pan and ended up with soggy fish. Once your fish is cooked through, assemble your tacos with avocado, lettuce, spring onions, salsa, and sour cream. The combination of flavors is out of this world! Enjoy these Cajun spiced fish tacos with a cold drink and good company. Bon appétit!

Directions

1
Cooking in a cajun spice and cayenne pepper marinade makes this fish super succulent and flavoursome. Top with a zesty dressing and serve in a tortilla for a quick, fuss-free main that's delightfully summery.
2
On a large plate, mix the cajun spice and cayenne pepper with a little seasoning and use to coat the fish all over.
3
Heat a little oil in a frying pan, add in the fish and cook over a medium heat until golden. Reduce the heat and continue frying until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Cook in batches if you don’t have enough room in the pan.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by combining all the ingredients with a little seasoning.
5
Soften the tortillas by heating in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. Pile high with the avocado, lettuce and spring onion, add a spoonful of salsa, top with large flakes of fish and drizzle over the dressing.
