Blackened Fish

• 1.5 lbs tilapia or cod fillets
• 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

Strawberry Pico de Gallo Salsa

• 1/2 red onion minced
• 1 jalapeno
• 1 bunch of cilantro
• juice of 2 limes

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine all of the seasonings for the blackened fish. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the fillets.
2. Combine all of the strawberry pico de gallo ingredients together in a small bowl and mix it all together. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

5. Distribute the fish evenly between the tortillas and top with Strawberry salsa, fresh cilantro, and jalapenos. Serve.
