Directions

Thaw cod or halibut filets and pat dry.
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Drizzle olive oil over the fish and pat the seasoning on both sides until evenly covered.

While the fish cooks, toast the buns.
Add a scoop of avocado slaw to the bottom of each bun. Top with the cooked fish and any other toppings or sauces of your choice.

Avocado Slaw:

In a blender of food processor, add the mayo, avocado, pickles, relish, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture over shredded cabbage or slaw mix and toss to combine.
Store in the fridge until ready to serve and after if you have leftovers.
