Equipment
- baking sheet
- oven
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
For the Blackened Fish
- 1.5 pounds cod fillet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning
- 1 none lime, juiced
For the Fish Taco Bowls
- 1 cups cilantro lime rice
- 1 cups broccoli slaw mix
- 1 cups fresh pico de gallo
- 1 cups fresh guacamole
- 1 cups cilantro lime sauce
- 0.5 cups finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 none lime wedges
Instructions
Prepare the Fish
- Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C. Place the cod fillet on a large baking sheet and pat it dry with a paper towel—this helps it crisp up nicely.
- Drizzle both sides of the fish with olive oil, then generously coat with blackened seasoning.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on how thick your fish is—about 10 minutes per inch is a good rule of thumb.
- Once it’s done, pull it from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into portions.
Assemble the Bowls
- To build your bowls, start with a base of cilantro lime rice, then layer in slaw and chunks of the blackened fish.
- Top with pico de gallo, guacamole, a drizzle of cilantro lime sauce, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges if you’re feeling extra.
Notes
Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
