Making an Easy Mayo Free Coleslaw for Fish Tacos
Don’t get me wrong, I do love a creamy aioli to go with my fish tacos, but I prefer my slaw to be citrusy and mayo free after testing various slaws. Here are some tips.
- If you want to skip chopping cabbage, just use a coleslaw mix from the grocery store. My favorite time saving tip!
- Avoid over-mixing the coleslaw. You want the avocado to stay a little chunky.
Don’t have an air fryer, try our Paleo Fish Tacos + Coleslaw! You make the fish in a skillet on your stovetop.

Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit if yours preheats.
- Combine fish seasonings in a small bowl.
- Pat fish dry with a paper towel, and cover in seasoning mixture on each side. Then, place in air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8-12 minutes, flip halfway if you're working with a thicker fillet. The fish will be flaky and opaque when done, or an internal temperature of 145°.
- While the fish is cooking, mix up the slaw. Combine all of the slaw ingredients in a bowl and mix them up until the avocado gets a little broken down but stays mostly chunky. Set aside until you’re ready to plate.
- Plate your tacos. Layer your fish and then coleslaw right on top of your tortillas. Garnish your favorite toppings, like salsa and cilantro. We also like to add a dollop of our chipotle aioli (it's addicting)!
