Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • For the fish:
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 3 3-oz pieces of cod or white fish
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • For the creamy avocado dressing:
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 avocado peeled and pitted
  • For the rest:
  • 1 large ear of corn shucked and broken into two pieces
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 3 medium zucchinis Blade C, noodles trimmed
  • 3/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small jalapeno sliced – to garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a medium pot with a pinch of salt, water and the corn to a boil. Once boiling, let cook for 2-3 more minutes or until corn is easily pierced with a fork. Strain and set aside.
  • While the corn cooks, place the cod in a bowl with the olive oil, garlic and lime juice and combine. Let sit for 5 minutes. Then, remove the fish from the marinade and season the cod with Cajun seasoning.
  • While fish marinates, place all of the ingredients for the dressing into a food processor and pulse until creamy. Taste and adjust, if needed. Set aside.
  • Heat a grill pan or skillet to medium-high. Once heated, place in the cod and cook for about 5 minutes, turning halfway until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  • While fish cooks, scrape the corn off the cob with a knife into a small bowl and set aside. Also, toss the zucchini noodles in a large bowl with the avocado sauce until fully combined.
  • Once fish is done cooking, assemble the fish taco bowls: divide the zucchini noodles into three bowls and place equal portions of black beans, corn and tomatoes. Top each with a piece of fish and garnish with jalapeno slices. Serve immediately.
