Whip up a vibrant Trader Joe’s Fish Taco Bowl! Zesty chili-lime mahi-mahi meets crisp cabbage, smoky corn salsa, and creamy cashew dressing for a quick, flavorful weeknight meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Trader Joe's Mahi Mahi Fillets: 1 lb
  • Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning: 2 teaspoons
  • Trader Joe's Organic Shredded Green & Red Cabbage: 1 bag (10 oz)
  • Trader Joe's Roasted Corn & Chili Salsa: 1 cup
  • Trader Joe's Spicy Cashew Butter Dressing: 1/2 cup
  • Trader Joe's Organic Brown Rice (frozen or shelf-stable): 2 cups cooked
  • Avocado: 1 ripe, diced
  • Lime: 1, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the fish. Pat the mahi-mahi fillets dry and season generously with Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until flaky and cooked through. Remove from pan and flake into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the rice and slaw. While the fish cooks, prepare the brown rice according to package directions (if using Trader Joe's frozen rice, microwave as directed). In a separate bowl, toss the Trader Joe's Organic Shredded Green & Red Cabbage with a squeeze of fresh lime juice if desired.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the toppings. Dice the ripe avocado. If desired, lightly warm the Trader Joe's Roasted Corn & Chili Salsa in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked brown rice evenly among 2-3 serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous portion of the flaked chili-lime mahi-mahi.
  5. Step 5: Finish and serve. Add a mound of the shredded cabbage, a scoop of roasted corn & chili salsa, and diced avocado to each bowl. Drizzle generously with Trader Joe's Spicy Cashew Butter Dressing and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges.

Notes

  • To enjoy leftovers at their best, store the cooked fish, rice, and cabbage separately from the dressing, salsa, and especially the diced avocado, which is best added fresh before serving.
  • Gently reheat the flaked fish and brown rice in the microwave or a skillet until just warm, then add fresh portions of cabbage, salsa, and avocado, finishing with the dressing for a delicious encore.
  • While fantastic as a bowl, consider serving this vibrant meal with warm corn tortillas on the side for a build-your-own taco experience, or add a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds for an extra crunch.
  • Don't be shy with the Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning on the mahi-mahi; a generous coat ensures every flaky bite bursts with flavor, perfectly complementing the cool, creamy dressing.
