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 fine sea salt
0.25 tsp cracked black pepper
Juice of 1 fresh lime
3 cups shredded romaine lettuce or mixed greens
2 cups cauliflower rice
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
0.5 cup purple cabbage, thinly shredded
0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
1 ripe avocado, sliced
0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt (for topping)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Place the fish in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the pan, squeeze fresh lime juice over it, and set aside.
Divide the cauliflower rice and shredded greens into serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the seared fish, cherry tomatoes, purple cabbage, red onion, and avocado slices.
Drizzle with a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
Notes
Store the fish, toppings, and cauliflower rice separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness. For an extra kick, add fresh cilantro or jalapeño slices. Ensure your fish is completely fresh for the best flavor.
