Instructions
Filet fish from skin. Combine all spices together in a small bowl, and spread out onto a small flat surface. Dredge fish on all sides to evenly coat with a solid layer. Allow to sit and soak up spices while you make salsa.
In a large bowl, use a masher to create a pulp from blackberries, some chunks are fine. Add balsamic glaze, honey and red onion, stir together; set aside.
In a large skillet or non-stick pan, place enough olive oil to create a thin, solid layer. Heat oil to medium-high, add seasoned Cobia fillets. Cook 4–6 minutes, rotating half way; just until outside is browned any crispy, and fish is flaky.
Heat or toast tortillas if desired. Top with blackened Cobia, spoon over salsa, and sprinkle with cabbage and cilantro.
