Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound white fish fillets such as cod or tilapia, cut into large chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or thawed
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup red cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and warm the cooked rice if needed.
  2. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the fish with olive oil and coat evenly with the spice mixture.
  3. Lightly coat the hot skillet with a little oil if needed.
  4. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until opaque and flaky. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the cooked fish.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt and remaining lime juice to create the sauce.
  6. Divide rice into serving bowls. Top with black beans, corn, cabbage, cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado.
  7. Add the cooked fish on top and drizzle with the lime yogurt sauce. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the fish to keep it tender and flaky.
  • Warm the beans slightly before assembling for extra flavor.
  • Add extra lime juice just before serving for a brighter taste.
  • Store components separately for best texture when meal prepping.
