- Juice of 1 lime
- For the Bowls:

Instructions:

- Rub the spice mixture over both sides of the fish fillets. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil.
- Cook the Fish:

- Prepare the Lime Crema:
- In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Adjust lime juice to taste and set aside.
- Assemble the Bowls:
- Divide the cooked rice among four bowls.
- Top each bowl with shredded lettuce, purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and the cooked fish (flaked or left whole).
- Drizzle with lime crema and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
Tips for Success:
- Swap the white fish for shrimp, salmon, or a plant-based alternative like tofu for variety.

- Prep the veggies and crema ahead of time for an even quicker assembly.
