Instructions
- Pat your fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning stick better.
- In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the fish with olive oil and coat evenly with the spice mixture.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish.
- Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fish before removing it from the pan. Let it rest for a minute before flaking into bite-sized pieces.
- While the fish is cooking, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Start with a base of shredded lettuce or cooked cauliflower rice in each bowl.
- Top with flaky fish pieces followed by diced cherry tomatoes, shredded cabbage, red onion slices, avocado slices, and optional jalapeños.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro over everything and drizzle with the creamy sauce.
- Serve each bowl with lime wedges on the side for extra citrus flavor.
