Instructions
- Make Cilantro Dressing: Place cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and ground cumin in a blender. Start blending on low speed and slowly add the avocado oil while increasing to medium speed. Blend until the dressing is emulsified.
- Prepare Slaw: Toss the finished cilantro dressing with the shredded savoy cabbage, purple cabbage, and sliced green onions. Set aside to marinate flavors.
- Make Mango Salsa: In a bowl, combine diced mango, chopped cilantro, minced red onion, minced jalapeno, lime juice, and sea salt. Stir well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Prepare Chipotle Aioli: In a blender, combine the egg, sea salt, lime juice, and chipotle powder. Start blending on low and slowly drizzle in the avocado oil in a thin steady stream while increasing speed. Continue blending until the aioli becomes thick and creamy. Transfer to a container or squeeze bottle and refrigerate.
- Season Fish: Mix smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and avocado oil together. Coat the fish fillets evenly with this spice mixture.
- Grill Fish: Heat grill to medium-high (around 400ºF). Place the fish on the grill, reduce heat to medium to maintain 350º-400ºF. Grill fish about 4-5 minutes on the first side until it easily loosens from the grill, then 2-3 minutes on the second side until cooked through.
- Alternative Oven Cooking: Preheat oven to 400ºF and bake seasoned fish for about 15 minutes or until fish flakes at edges and is cooked through.
- Serve: Assemble bowls with grilled fish, cilantro slaw, mango salsa, chipotle aioli, and toppings such as lime wedges, sliced avocado, and extra chopped cilantro for garnish.

- Recommended fish for this recipe are halibut (premium but pricey), Alaskan cod, rockfish, Ono, tuna types, or mahi mahi for best flavor and texture.
- Cooking times may vary based on fish fillet thickness and grill or oven used.
