Taco fish bowls:

If you are looking for a quick weeknight dinner to prep, then these taco fish bowls are a must! They took just ten minute to prepare and were so tasty. And most of the items are perfect for prepping ahead of time. Night you plan having, just cook the fish and you are ready to go.

 

Ingredients you will need:

  1. Instant pot cilantro lime rice
  2. Wild caught fish of choice ( I used wild caught cod and wild caught halibut)
  3. Primal Palate Taco seasoning (substitute 1/4 tsp of each: chipotle powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin)
  4. Salt + pepper
  5. Red bell pepper
  6. Cilantro
  7. Cabbage
  8. Ghee
  9. Olive oil
  10. Avocado ranch crema or avocado chunks

Preparing the Instant pot cilantro rice:

I like to meal prep a batch of my Instant pot cilantro rice on Sunday to have as a side dish for a variety of meals during the week. And it makes it super convenient to get dinners done in no time having this already prepped. But if you don’t have it prepped in advance, from start to finish it only takes about 20 minutes.

Add rice, chicken bone broth, salt and pepper to taste, 1 Tbsp of ghee to Instant pot, and mix.  Close the Instant pot, set to rice function, and cook for 12 minutes. And once it is done quick release the pressure, add in the juice of 2 limes, fresh cilantro, and fluff with a fork.

If prepping ahead of time, the night you plan on enjoying, add a little bit of water to a pan, and warm through for 3-5 minutes.

Prepping the fish:

I defrost my fish in the refrigerator over night if using frozen filets. And season both sides of fish with olive oil,  Primal Palate Taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Add ghee or any type of oil to a pan and warm the oil for about 30 seconds-1 minute. Add the fish and cook a few minute each side.

Preparing the avocado ranch crema:

This is another prep ahead side dish to have on hand for the week. Simply add avocado, salt and pepper, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, water, cilantro, garlic powder, Primal Palate Garden Ranch seasoning to a blender, and blend it all up.

Putting the bowls together:

Add the rice to the bowls, add the cooked fish on top of rice, add chopped red bell pepper, cabbage, fresh cilantro, and homemade avocado ranch crema.

I hope that you love these easy taco fish bowls as much as we do. And if you have picky eaters, they are going to dig this dinner. And if you make them, be sure to share your creations with me over on Instagram so I can see.
