Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 medium avocados, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
Instructions
- 1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.
- 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned fish and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 3. While the fish cooks, prepare the cilantro lime sauce by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice, chopped cilantro, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- 4. Remove the cooked fish from heat and let it rest for 2 minutes. Using a fork, flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- 5. Assemble the bowls by dividing the chopped romaine lettuce among four serving bowls. Top with shredded purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado.
- 6. Add the flaked fish to the center of each bowl. Drizzle with the cilantro lime sauce and garnish with remaining fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
Notes
Store cooked fish and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days. Assemble bowls fresh for best texture. Can substitute with salmon or shrimp. Add jalapeños for extra heat.
