Ingredients

For the sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional add-ins

• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon diced jalapeño (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

• In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, and honey.

🥄 Mixing the mayo with Greek yogurt adds a delightful tanginess and creaminess without being overly heavy. The lime juice gives it a refreshing zest!

• Add the chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

• If using, fold in the chopped cilantro and diced jalapeño for an extra layer of flavor.

• Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you like it zestier, add more lime juice!

🌶️ Adjust jalapeño and spices to suit your spice tolerance. You can always add more heat, but you can't take it away!

Variations

• Dairy-free: Substitute the mayonnaise and yogurt with a vegan mayo and coconut yogurt. This will result in a creamy texture without any dairy! 🌱
• Herbed: Swap out the cilantro for fresh dill or parsley for a unique twist that complements the fish nicely!
• Creole kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or Cajun seasoning for a Louisiana flair.
• Avocado addition: Blend in half an avocado for a richer, creamier sauce with a hint of green goodness! 🥑
