Ingredients
Scale
Fish
- 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
Bowl 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with foil to ensure easy cleanup after baking.
- Prepare Fish: In a small bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter and taco seasoning until well combined. Quickly brush this mixture onto the frozen cod fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Bake Fish: Place the seasoned cod fillets on the prepared sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Make Honey Lime Crema: While the fish is baking, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, honey, milk, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the pineapple lime cauliflower rice and sweet and spicy coleslaw evenly among 4 bowls, using about 1/2 cup of each per bowl. Top each with one baked cod fillet, a few slices of avocado, and drizzle with the prepared honey lime crema. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for garnish.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream with a plant-based yogurt and use a non-dairy milk for the crema.
- Ensure the fish is fully cooked by checking that it flakes easily with a fork before serving.
- You can prepare the cauliflower rice and coleslaw ahead of time to speed up assembly.
- Adjust the level of spice in the taco seasoning to suit your taste preference.
