Ingredients For Fish Taco Bowls with Lime Rice:

• Grilled fish: Used mahi-mahi, but you can use your favorite. 
• Cilantro lime rice: This is the base of the bowls.  It may be substituted with plain rice, but the cilantro and lime really add flavor.
• Mango Salsa: The sweet and savory flavors pair very well with the fish, but you can use your favorite salsa.
• Avocado: The avocado provides a creamy element. 
• Cabbage: The cabbage adds a nice, crunchy texture to these bowls.  It may be substituted with your favorite fresh, crunchy vegetables. 
• Cilantro and lime: For serving.

Instructions:

These bowls include a few different components, which prepare in stages to make meal prep quicker:

1. Prepare the rice: The rice takes about 20 minutes to cook, so start that first. Once it’s cooking, prep the lime zest, juice, and chopped cilantro to stir in at the end.  
2. Prep the salsa: The salsa tastes best when the ingredients are allowed to stand at room temperature for a minimum of 10 minutes, so prepare it before the fish.
3. Prep and cook the fish: Preheat the grill to medium-high.  Pat the fish dry, then season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, then brush with oil.  When the grill is hot, add the fish and turn the heat down to medium.  Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.  Remove from heat and cover loosely with foil.
4. Prep the remaining toppings: While the fish cooks, prep the cabbage, avocado, and additional lime and cilantro if desired.
