Fish Taco Bowls

When my husbands birthday came around I decided to make him several fish recipes. I have never liked fish, as a kid I hated it and I have tried it a few times as an adult and still don't like. No matter how it is prepared or seasoned I just do not like it.

However, my husband loves fish so I wanted to make some fish recipes for him since I hardly ever made fish since half of our family does not like it.

My husband loved this fish bowl and I enjoyed it with my chicken. All the flavors paired perfectly together creating a filling and delicious meal.

Fish Taco Bowls

Ingredients:

• 2 cups brown rice
• 1/4 cup dried cilantro
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 pound cod fillets, cut into 3/4 inch strips
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 1/4 cups panko
• 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
• 1 cup pico de gallo
• 1 avocado, sliced

Cilantro Lime Dressing

• 1/2 cup dried cilantro
• 1/2 cup plain non fat yogurt
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions:

1. Cook the rice according to the package directions. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice.
2. In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Season both sides of the cod with chili powder and black pepper. Then coat both sides of the fish with flour and then dip the fish into the egg, letting the excess drip off. Place the fish into the panko and coat both sides pressing down lightly.
4. Add the fish to the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Divide the rice evenly between 4 bowls and top with the fish, cabbage, pico de gallo and avocado.
6. In a food processor add the cilantro, yogurt, garlic clove and lime juice. Blend until mixed. With the processor still running, slowly pour in the olive oil and vinegar and continue to mix until well blended.
7. Pour desired amount of dressing on top of the bowls.

Enjoy!!!

Notes:
Fresh cilantro may be used instead of dried, just double the amounts.
