Instructions

In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Rub spice mix evenly over the fish fillets.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish fillets and cook 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and blackened.
In a separate bowl, mix cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined. Chill until ready to use.
Toast burger buns lightly, if desired.
Place each cooked fish fillet onto the bottom half of a bun. Top generously with the creamy slaw and fresh cilantro.
Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crunch, add sliced pickles or onions to the sandwich.
Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter slaw.
