Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp granulated sweetener I used Lakanto's blend of erythritol and monk fruit
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste add a bit of extra pepper, I used about 1-1 1/2 tsp
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle pepper can be substituted with cayenne or whatever you have on hand
  • 1 1/2 lbs Wild-Caught Cod cubed into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small cabbage sliced into strips
  • 1/2 bag of frozen bell peppers and onions about 4 ounces
  • avocado oil or whatever oil you use
  • Additional ingredients for the fajitas
  • Low Carb tortillas
  • Sharp Cheddar shredded *see note
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 Tbsp Hot Sauce
  • Lime
  • Green onions sliced (optional)
  • Guacamole or sliced avocado optional but delicious

Instructions
 

  • Mix seasonings together in a bowl.
  • Pat fish dry then add to bowl tossing gently to coat each piece with seasoning mixture.
  • Heat skillet to medium and add a drizzle of oil, add cabbage and cook until desired tenderness, add bell pepper and onion blend, season with salt and pepper, set aside while you cook fish. *see note about cooking simultaneously
  • Add a bit more oil to the hot pan, then add fish and cook until done, being careful not to overcook. *see note 
  • Mix sour cream and hot sauce, stir well.
  • Assemble fajitas, garnish with a squeeze of lime juice and green onions, and optional toppings.

Notes

I picked up a bit of Sweet Red Cheddar from Whole Foods and it paired beautifully with the blackened cod.
I use two skillets to prepare this meal, however, if you only have one or don't want to clean an extra pan, you could cook the cabbage first, then use the same skillet to cook the fish.
*For my children's portion - I added black beans. They are at a healthy weight and burn a lot of calories every day!
