Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Creating these delicious Blackened Fish Taco Bowls With Cilantro Lime Sauce involves a series of simple steps. Follow the guide below for a flawless dish:

1. Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the blackening spices adhere better.

2. Season the Fish: In a small bowl, mix together cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the fish fillets.

3. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

4. Cook the Fish: Add the seasoned fish fillets and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they are blackened and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.

5. Make the Cilantro Lime Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of rice. Top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and corn.

7. Flake the Fish: Serve the blackened fish on top of the assembled bowls. Flake it into chunks for easy eating.

8. Add the Sauce: Drizzle the cilantro lime sauce over the fish and vegetables generously.

9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
