Steps
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In one shallow dish, spread the all-purpose flour evenly. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Take each fish fillet and dip it into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally press it into the panko mixture.
- In a large skillet, heat enough cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, carefully add the coated fish in batches.
- Fry the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage mix, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro, tossing gently.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth. Drizzle over slaw and toss.
- In serving bowls, add a layer of cooked rice or quinoa, top with crispy fish pieces, followed by the slaw.
- Drizzle the chipotle sauce over your assembled bowls.
- Customize with optional toppings and serve warm.

Notes
Allow the fish to rest after breading for optimal crispiness. Store components separately for best freshness.
