Ingredients

Cilantro Rice

  • 2 cups cooked white rice (9 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Pineapple Avocado Salsa

  • 3/4 cup diced pineapple (115 grams)
  • 1/2 cup diced avocado (70 grams)
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion (40 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons diced jalapeno (15 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Blackened Fish

Cilantro Lime Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • pepper, to taste

For the bowls

  • 3 cups shredded cabbage (165 grams)
  • optional toppings: cilantro, lime wedges, diced tomatoes...

Instructions

  • Cook your rice. First, start off by cooking your rice according to the package. I prefer the instant pot method as it does the work for you, but the stovetop works just as well. Once done and slightly cooled, stir in some cilantro and salt.
  • Make your salsa. Add the pineapple, avocado, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice, cilantro, and salt and pepper to a small bowl and mix well to combine. Set aside.
  • Cook your fish. Pat dry fish fillets and coat in taco seasoning, dividing evenly. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add oil. Add fish, cook for 3-4 minutes, flip, and cook for another 2-3 minutes depending on thickness.
  • While the fish cooks, make your fish taco sauce. Add sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and pepper to a small bowl and mix well to combine.
  • Assemble the bowls. Divide cabbage, rice, and salsa between two bowls. Top each bowl with a filet of fish and your sauce.
  • Enjoy! Top with any additional toppings and enjoy.
