Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped cilantro for the zesty slaw.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, vinegar, honey or agave, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well.
- Let the slaw chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
- For the creamy sauce, blend mayo or Greek yogurt with chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor until smooth.
- Pat fish fillets dry, season with salt and pepper, and set up a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixture.
- Coat each fish piece first in flour, dip in egg, then press into the panko mixture.
- For pan-frying, heat cooking oil in a skillet and fry the fish for 2-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Alternatively, bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes or air fry at 400°F for 8-12 minutes.
- In each bowl, create a base of rice or quinoa, add crispy fish, zesty slaw, and drizzle with creamy sauce.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like avocado slices or jalapeños.

Notes
Ensure fish fillets are patted dry before seasoning for optimal crispiness. Store leftover slaw separately for freshness.
