  6. Fish

  7. Season the fish with cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper on all sides.
  8. Sear fish in a hot pan in a little oil, until cooked - about four minutes. Keep turning so each side gets seared.

Tip

For a spicier version, try using habanero peppers instead of jalapeños.

Fish

Our favorite fish for this recipe is Mahi Mahi, but if you can't find that, tilapia, cod, halibut or any other white fish will work well.
