Fish Taco Bowl
Ingredients:
- 2 pouches (125 g each) Minute Rice Basmati Rice
- 1 lb. (500 g) fish fillets (such as tilapia, haddock or cod), cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes
- 1 tbsp. (15 mL) Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 tsp. (1 mL) salt
- 3 tbsp. (45 mL) canola oil
- 1 pkg (340 g) coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) prepared coleslaw dressing
- Lime wedges
- 1/3-cup (75 mL) tomato salsa (optional)
- 1/3-cup (75 mL) guacamole (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Cook rice according to package directions.
Step 2: Meanwhile, toss fish with Cajun seasoning and salt. In large, non-stick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium heat; cook fish in batches, adding more oil as needed, for 2 or 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Toss coleslaw with dressing.
Step 3: Divide rice evenly among 4 shallow bowls. Top with some of the coleslaw, fish and lime wedge. Serve with salsa and guacamole (if using).
