Ingredients

Blackened Fish

1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil spray
4 pieces fresh skinned white fish fillets (6 ounces each (mahi mahi, grouper, red snapper, tilapia))
3 cups cooked wild rice or brown rice
lime wedges (for serving)

Key Lime Tartar Sauce:

1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles plus 1 tablespoon pickle juice
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
1 teaspoon fresh key lime juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Combine the ingredients for the tartar sauce and refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper and mix to blend.
Spritz the fish with oil on both sides and rub all over.
Coat the fish on both sides with the spice mix.

Air Fryer Method:

Spray the air fryer basket with oil. Working in batches, place the fish in the basket in a single layer and cook 400F until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 to 7 minutes, turning halfway depending on the thickness of the fish.

Oven Method:

Broil fish 6" from heating element high, 4-5 minutes, no need to turn

To serve:

Place 3/4 cup rice on each plate, 1 piece of fish, and divide sauce in 4 tiny bowls. Serve with lime wedges.
