Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3 cups shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 2 cups cooked cauliflower rice
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cup red cabbage, shredded
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Start by patting your fish fillets dry with a paper towel to help the seasoning stick better.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Rub the fish with olive oil and coat it evenly with the spice mixture.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish.
  5. Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the cooked fish before removing it from the pan.
  7. Let it rest for a minute before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
  8. While the fish is cooking, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed; this creamy sauce adds tangy contrast to the smoky fish.
  10. Start with either shredded lettuce or cauliflower rice as your base in each bowl.
  11. Top each bowl with flaky fish pieces followed by diced cherry tomatoes, shredded cabbage, red onion slices, avocado slices, and jalapeños if desired.
  12. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over everything before drizzling with creamy sauce.
  13. Serve your Low-Carb Fish Taco Bowls with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrus pop!
