Instructions
Creating Blackened Fish Taco Bowls is a breeze. Follow these easy steps for a delicious result:
1. Prepare the Cilantro Lime Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
2. Season the Fish: Rub the blackening seasoning evenly over both sides of the fish fillets to ensure maximum flavor.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fish to achieve a good sear.
4. Cook the Fish: Place the seasoned fish fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and blackened. Fish should flake easily with a fork when done.
5. Prepare the Bowl Base: While the fish is cooking, divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa among serving bowls.
6. Add the Toppings: Once the fish is cooked, slice it into bite-sized pieces and distribute it over the rice or quinoa. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and cherry tomato halves.
7. Drizzle with Sauce: Generously drizzle the prepared cilantro lime sauce over each bowl, adding extra freshness.
8. Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice for added zest.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Blackened Fish Taco Bowls warm, allowing everyone to mix and match toppings according to their preferences.
