Ingredients
- 2¼ lb cod fillets
- ¾ cup rice
- ½ can black beans, rinsed
- 3½ cups coleslaw mix
- 2 cups diced pineapple
- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped
- 2 limes
- ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ avocado, sliced
From your pantry: 2 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp oregano, ½ tsp cayenne, salt.
Instructions
- Cook the rice and warm the beans. Mix the pineapple, tomato, half the cilantro, juice of ½ lime and a pinch of salt for salsa. Toss the slaw with the juice of ½ lime and a pinch of salt.
- Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne and 1 tsp salt. Pat the cod dry, brush with 1 tbsp oil and press the spice mix on all sides.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook the cod until dark and crusty, 3 to 4 minutes, flip gently and cook 2 to 3 minutes more until it flakes.
- Stir the yogurt with the remaining lime juice and a pinch of salt.
- Build bowls with rice, beans, slaw and big flakes of cod. Top with salsa, avocado, crema and cilantro.
Tip: Blackening smokes a lot; turn on the fan, or bake the seasoned fish at 425°F for 10 to 12 minutes instead.
