Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 4 fillets Fish fillets (like tilapia or cod) Optional swaps include haddock, pollock, or mahi-mahi.
  • 4 cups Cabbage (green and/or purple) Use a mix for color or substitute with shredded romaine.
  • 1 cup Carrots, grated Pre-shredded saves time; jicama can be used for crunch.

For the Mango Salsa and Slaw

  • 1 large Mango, diced Use firm, ripe mango or pineapple if mango is out of season.
  • 1/2 cup Red onion, finely diced Soak in ice water for milder flavor if desired.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped Substitute with parsley or green onion if you dislike cilantro.

For the Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Chipotle mayonnaise Mix plain mayo with chipotle seasoning for a substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime juice, fresh Bottled can be used but adjust to taste.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat fish fillets dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Grill on medium-high heat or bake in a preheated 400°F oven until opaque and flaky; 6–8 minutes for tilapia, 10–12 minutes for thicker cod.

Making the Slaw and Mango Salsa

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, diced mango, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to keep the mango intact.
  • Add lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss again to coat.

Mixing the Chipotle Aioli

  • In a small bowl, stir together chipotle mayonnaise with a splash of fresh lime juice. Adjust flavors to taste.

Assembling the Bowls

  • Place slaw and mango salsa in each bowl, top with fish fillet, drizzle chipotle aioli, and serve with lime wedges.

Serving

  • Serve immediately to enjoy warm fish and crunchy slaw.

Notes

Keep slaw fresh by adding dressing just before serving. Use quality ingredients for the best flavor.
