Blackened Fish Tacos with Cilantro Slaw

I topped mine with homemade ranch dressing but the recipe suggests cilantro lime sauce .  I haven't made it yet so couldn't use it.  I may try to make it and have it on leftovers tomorrow.  It looks amazing though it's a bit more calorie dense than my ranch.

I forgot to sprinkle with Parmesan because I couldn't wait to dig in!   So here is my adaptation of all these recipes.  Links to the originals are within these directions.
