Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and halve radishes lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise into half-moons. Dice tomato. Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.
-
Pat tilapia* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Mexican Spice Blend (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Sprinkle both sides with flour; press to adhere.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add tilapia and cook until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Flip; cook until opaque and cooked through, 2-3 minutes more.
-
Turn off heat; transfer tilapia to a plate.
-
While fish cooks, in a large bowl, combine cabbage, coleslaw mix, radishes, mayonnaise, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, and lime juice if desired.
-
In a small bowl, combine tomato, cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
-
Divide slaw between plates. Top with tilapia. Drizzle fish with smoky red pepper crema and dollop with guacamole. Garnish with salsa and serve with a squeeze of lime juice.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The fresh salsa, guacamole, and smoky red pepper crema paired beautifully with the fish; some found the overall flavor profile a bit mild.
- Ease of prep: This comes together quickly and easily — one of the faster weeknight meals reviewers mentioned.
- Suggestions: Use half the mayo in the slaw and add extra lime juice for a lighter, brighter dressing; a teaspoon of sugar also helps balance the slaw.
- Leftovers: One reviewer turned leftovers into fish tacos the next day and a salad on day three — the components hold up well separately.
- Slaw: Opinions on the slaw were split — some loved it, others preferred a vinegar-based dressing over mayo; shredding the cabbage finer also makes it easier to eat.
