Ingredients
  

For the fish
  • 1 pound Fish (Cod, tilapia, or your choice) Soft and flaky, serves as the base.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lime juice Adjust quantity according to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For grilling.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin For flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika For flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Optional for heat.
For the toppings
  • 2 cups Cabbage Chopped.
  • 1 medium Avocado Sliced.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Chopped.
  • 1/2 cup Radishes Sliced.
  • 3 cups Grains or greens (rice, quinoa, or mixed greens) Your choice for the base.

Method
 

Marinate the Fish
  1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and a pinch of salt. Add the fish fillets and let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Prepare the Grains
  1. Cook your choice of grains according to package instructions. For brown rice or quinoa, a sprinkle of salt in the boiling water enhances flavor.
Cook the Fish
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the fish for 3-5 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Prep the Toppings
  1. While the fish cooks, chop the cabbage, slice the avocado, and prepare the cilantro and radishes.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. Start by placing a bed of grains or greens in each bowl. Flake the grilled fish on top, then layer with cabbage, avocado, cilantro, and radishes. Drizzle with extra lime juice for that fresh zing!
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Gather your loved ones, set the bowls on the table, and watch as everyone dives in with smiles, savoring every flavor-filled bite.
