Brush a sheet pan with cooking oil. Coat fish filets liberally with seasoning mix and spread them out on the sheet pan.
Broil fish until opaque and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness.
While fish cooks, assemble salads. Toss together cabbage and lettuce and divide among serving plates. Top with cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, and pepitas.
Lay fish filets on top of salads and squeeze lime wedges over top. Serve with honey-lime crema. Enjoy!
