How to make Fish Taco Bowls:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, set aside.
Whisk the garlic-lime sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use…..
Mix the cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the cod and place on the baking sheet…..
Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, until fish flakes with a fork.
For a crispier fish, broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the edges are browned…..
Remove from oven and set aside. Chop into bite-sized pieces before serving…..
To make the Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice:
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil, and add the riced cauliflower.
Cover skillet with a lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes…..
Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro…..
To assemble the Fish Taco Bowls:
Divide the cauliflower rice between 4 bowls. Add the shredded cabbage…..
Add the halved tomatoes and diced avocado and red onion…..
I used my red onion for a different recipe yesterday, oops!
Divide the fish between the four bowls and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro…..
Drizzle the Garlic-Lime Sauce over the bowl and serve…..
Holy Moly these Fish Taco Bowls are delicious!! Just grab a fork and stir all of the ingredients together for an explosion of flavor! 🙂
Notes:
- I used frozen, wild-caught cod. You could also substitute skinless halibut, any other white fish or even salmon.
- You can sprinkle the cod with Taco Seasoning if you like.
- For spicier tacos, add cayenne or Sriracha sauce.
- These Fish Taco Bowls are Whole30 & Paleo compliant. They may also be Keto friendly, but I don’t know enough about that one.
- Yes, you can substitute regular or brown rice in the same quantity. Cook as directed and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
- I used red cabbage, but green cabbage would also work…or a combination of the two.
I debated adding mixed greens to the bottom of the bowl, but I wasn’t sure if that would turn it into a salad bowl? LOL. Feel free to add 6 cups of mixed greens if you so desire. 🙂
