Keto Fish Taco Bowl

Keto Fish Taco Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 small fillets of any mild white fish
  • 4 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp fish rub of your choice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chile powder
  • 1 medium head green cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium head red cabbage thinly sliced (see notes)
  • 1/2 c green onion thinly sliced; or more if you’re a big green onion fan like I am
  • guacamole for serving (completely optional, but good, see notes)

DRESSING INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 c mayo
  • 2 Tbsp fresh-squeezed lime juice see notes
  • 2 tsp Green Tabasco Sauce more or less to taste.
  • salt or Vege-Sal to taste

Instructions
 

  • Thaw fish overnight in the refrigerator if frozen.
  • Mix the fish rub, ground cumin, and chile powder in a small dish.
  • When you’re ready to cook, pat fish dry with paper towels, then rub both sides with 2 tsp. of the olive oil followed by the fish rub mixture.
  • Let the fish come to room temperature while you prep the other ingredients.
  • Cut away the core of the cabbage and discard, then use a knife or a Mandoline Slicer (affiliate link) to cut the cabbage into thin slices; we used the 3 cm blade for the mandoline. (You can also use pre-sliced coleslaw mix if you don’t want to bother cutting the cabbage.)
  • Thinly slice the green onion.
  • Whisk together the mayo, lime juice, Green Tabasco Sauce, and Vege-Sal (or salt) to make the dressing (affiliate links).
  • Brush a stove-top grill pan or heavy frying pan with the other 2 tsp. olive oil and heat the pan about a minute at medium-high heat. Then add the fish and cook about 4 minutes on the first side.
  • Turn gently and cook about 4 minutes more on the other side. (Actual cooking time will depend on how thick your pieces of fish are. Fish should feel barely firm to the touch when it’s done.)
  • While the fish cooks, mix about half the green onions into the cabbage mixture and stir in enough dressing to barely moisten the cabbage.
  • When the fish is done, let it cool slightly on a cutting board, then use two forks to shred the fish apart.
  • Fill bowl with 1/4 of the cabbage mixture and top with desired amount of fish. Drizzle a little more dressing over the top.
  • Serve right away, with green onions for garnish and guacamole if desired.
