Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 White Fish Fillets (Cod/Tilapia)
  • 1 head Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1/2 cup Black Beans
  • 1/2 cup Corn
  • 1 bunch Cilantro
  • 2 Limes
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika

Instructions

  1. Blend cilantro, lime, oil, yogurt, garlic, and honey to make the dressing.
  2. Mix spices (paprika, cumin, garlic powder) and coat the fish fillets.
  3. Sear fish in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through.
  4. Toss lettuce and cabbage with a little dressing.
  5. Top with beans, corn, avocado, and the warm fish.
