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

Bowls

  • 2 cups Pineapple Lime Cauliflower Rice
  • 2 cups Sweet and Spicy Coleslaw
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with foil to make cleanup easier after baking.
  2. Prepare the fish: Mix together the melted unsalted butter and taco seasoning in a small bowl. Quickly brush this mixture onto the frozen cod fillets, making sure each fillet is coated evenly. Place the 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.
  3. Make the honey lime crema: While the fish is baking, whisk together the 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 creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor to the bowls.
  4. Assemble the bowls: To assemble, fill four bowls with 1/2 cup of pineapple lime cauliflower rice and 1/2 cup of sweet and spicy coleslaw each. Top each bowl with one baked cod fillet and some sliced avocado. Drizzle the honey lime crema over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh cod fillets for frozen if preferred; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free yogurt or sour cream alternative.
  • The cauliflower rice and coleslaw can be made ahead to save time.
  • Adjust taco seasoning to your preferred spice level or use a homemade blend.
  • To keep it stricter low-carb, skip the honey or reduce the amount in the crema.
