Ingredients
1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
Juice of 1 lime
3 cups shredded lettuce or mixed greens
2 cups cauliflower rice, cooked
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
0.5 cup red cabbage, shredded
0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry and coat them evenly with the spice blend.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the fish to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until opaque and flaky.
Remove the fish from the pan and squeeze half of the lime juice over the filets.
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the remaining lime juice to create the dressing.
Divide the cauliflower rice and shredded lettuce into two bowls.
Top with the seared fish, cherry tomatoes, cabbage, red onion, avocado slices, cilantro, and optional jalapeños.
Drizzle the lime yogurt sauce over the top and serve with extra lime wedges.
Notes
Store leftover fish and vegetables in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best quality. Add avocado fresh at the time of serving to prevent browning.
