Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb mahi-mahi fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt or sour cream
  • Pinch of sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the mahi-mahi pieces with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned mahi-mahi and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  3. While the mahi-mahi cooks, prepare the cilantro lime dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, yogurt or sour cream, cilantro, and a pinch of sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa or rice among serving bowls.
  5. Top with cooked mahi-mahi, black beans, corn, red onion, and diced avocado.
  6. Drizzle generously with the cilantro lime dressing.
  7. Garnish with extra fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mahi-mahi seasoning.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
