Instructions

Season the fish
Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch each. Lightly spray with olive oil and season generously with Cajun seasoning, making sure all sides are coated. Set aside while you prep the other components.
Make the sauce
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and sriracha (or chipotle). Squeeze in the juice from half a lime and add a splash of water until the sauce loosens to a drizzleable consistency. Taste and adjust as needed.
Cook the fish
Place the seasoned fish in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 8 - 10 minutes, fliping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and lightly crisp on the edges.
Prepare the slaw
While the fish cooks, add the slaw mix to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, the juice from the remaining lime half, and kosher salt until evenly coated and lightly dressed.
Assemble the bowls
Divide the slaw between bowls or plates. Top with the cooked fish and finish with a drizzle of the spicy mayo. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

No air fryer? No problem! Heat a skillet on high heat, spray with oil, and cook the fish 5–6 minutes OR bake on a sheetpan @ 400 degrees for about 10 munites
