# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Whisk together mayonnaise (or plain yogurt), taco seasoning, and fresh lime juice in a small bowl.
02 -
Combine green and red cabbage, shredded carrot, chopped green onion, and cilantro leaves in a medium bowl. Add ¼ cup of the dressing and toss thoroughly. Reserve remaining dressing for serving.
03 -
Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush exposed surfaces with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with taco seasoning.
04 -
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place fillets seasoned side down and brush tops with oil, sprinkling with additional taco seasoning. Cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until fish releases naturally. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
05 -
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté diced red onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño for 1 minute. Stir in corn kernels, black beans, and seasoning. Cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, squeeze juice of ½ lime over salsa, add sliced green onions, and toss to combine.
06 -
Divide slaw and salsa evenly among four serving bowls. Top each with one cod fillet and ¼ of the avocado cubes. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs.
