Ingredients
Scale
Fish and Seasoning
- 4 frozen cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
Honey Lime Crema
- 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Pinch of salt
Bowls Components
- 2 cups Pineapple Lime Cauliflower Rice
- 2 cups Sweet and Spicy Coleslaw
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with foil to make clean-up easier.
- Prepare the Fish: Mix together the melted butter and taco seasoning in a small bowl. Quickly brush this mixture over the frozen cod fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the fillets on the prepared sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Make the Honey Lime Crema: While the fish bakes, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, honey, milk, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth and well combined. This will add a refreshing and creamy topping for the taco bowls.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the pineapple lime cauliflower rice evenly into four bowls, about 1/2 cup per bowl. Top each with 1/2 cup of the sweet and spicy coleslaw, then add one baked cod fillet per bowl. Add sliced avocado on top, drizzle with the honey lime crema, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro to garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low carb fish taco bowls!
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier and higher protein option.
- Make sure to brush the butter and seasoning mixture quickly over the frozen fish to prevent the fish from thawing too much before baking.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the taco seasoning mix.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best citrus flavor in the crema and cauliflower rice.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved easily to serve different portion sizes.
