Description
These Low Carb Fish Taco Bowls represent everything you love about tacos without the added carbohydrates.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 frozen cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- ¼ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt as a lighter alternative)
- 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups Pineapple Lime Cauliflower Rice
- 2 cups Sweet and Spicy Coleslaw
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This sets the stage for a perfect bake that ensures your fish cooks evenly. For a hassle-free meal prep, line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze and prevents any sticking issues with the fish.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the taco seasoning until thoroughly combined. This flavorful concoction acts as a marinade for your cod fillets. Brush this mixture generously over each frozen cod fillet, sealing in flavor and ensuring a delicious crust forms during baking.
- Place the seasoned cod fillets on the lined baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced out evenly for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. You’ll know the fish is ready when it turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. This step is crucial for achieving that perfectly baked texture that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients in your bowl.
- While your fish is baking, it’s time to whip up the honey lime crema. In a medium mixing bowl, combine sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version), lime juice, honey, milk, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld as your fish cooks.
- Once your fish is perfectly baked, it’s time to bring everything together. In four serving bowls, start with a base layer of ½ cup of cauliflower rice. On top of that, add ½ cup of sweet and spicy coleslaw. Gently place one fish fillet in each bowl, then add a few slices of fresh avocado. Finally, drizzle the prepared honey lime crema over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for that final touch of freshness.
