Instructions

Make the Blackened Seasoning

Pineapple Salsa

  • Dice the pineapple and roughly chop the cilantro. Quarter the tomatoes and avocado. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and season to taste.

Cauliflower Rice

  • Chop the cauliflower into bite sized pieces. In batches, pulse in a blender or food processor until broken down to the size of rice. Saute in a pan over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring often. Season to taste.

Cook the Fish

    Drizzle the fish with oil and sprinkle all sides of the fish with about 2-3 tbsp blackened seasoning. Rub the seasoning into the fish to fully coat it on all sides.
    Pan fry or grill for about 2 minutes per side over medium-high heat.

Make the Chili Lime Drizze

  • Stir all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Assemble and Serve

  • Divide the cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top with the blackened fish, pineapple salsa, and spoon on the chili lime drizzle. Serve with a slice of lime and a few extra cilantro leaves.
