Ingredients

Cilantro Lime Riced Cauliflower

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided

Fish Taco Bowls

  • cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 pound wild caught cod
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 4 to 6 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 avocado cubed
  • 3 roma tomatoes diced (about 1 cup)
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 jalapeno diced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Chipotle lime dressing:

  • ¼ to ½ cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon full-fat coconut milk
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder

Instructions

  • First, prep the cauliflower rice. Add the cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower has broken down into a relatively uniform “rice” consistency. Preheat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add cauliflower rice and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet and add remaining olive oil, preheating to medium-high heat. Combine the smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cumin in a small bowl. Season the cod evenly with the spice mixture. Add the cod to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the fish is no longer translucent and can be easily flaked with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, create the chipotle lime dressing. Combine mayo, coconut milk, lime, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and chipotle powder in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Add more coconut milk, if desired, for a thinner consistency.
  • Next, make the pico de gallo. Add the tomatoes to a medium bowl. Add the red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and sea salt. Stir using a fork until all ingredients are mixed.
  • Finally, assemble the bowls. Divide cauliflower rice, cabbage, pico de gallo, and avocado between 4 bowls. Top with seasoned cod. Drizzle the chipotle lime dressing over top. If you like, you can garnish with additional lime wedges, chopped cilantro, or jalapeno.
