1 Make the Slaw
Stem and coarsely chop half the dill. Reserve whole leaves for garnish.
In a mixing bowl, combine carrot, 1/3 the sour cream (reserve remaining for sauce), seasoning blend, chopped dill (reserve remaining for garnish), and 1 tsp. olive oil. Set aside. -
2 Bake the Potatoes
Slice potatoes into 1/4" rounds.
Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes.Spread into a single layer and bake in hot oven, flipping once halfway through, until browned, 18-22 minutes.While potatoes bake, prepare remaining ingredients. -
3 Make the Batter
Place canola oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Heat oil, 3-5 minutes.
While oil heats, combine tempura mix and 1/4 cup cold water in another mixing bowl until a thin batter forms. Gently stir in crackers. Batter should be thin enough to easily coat fish. If too thick, add additional cold water, 1 Tbsp. at a time.Test oil by adding a pinch of batter. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat. -

In another mixing bowl, combine remaining sour cream and hot sauce (to taste). Set aside.Pat tilapia dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 2" pieces.If using mahi-mahi, follow same instructions. -
