Instructions
1. Prepare slaw by combining mayonnaise/yogurt, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, and lime juice in a bowl with cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro. Chill.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cod fillets and cook for 8-12 minutes per side, until flaky. Season with taco seasoning.
3. Meanwhile, sauté remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno, and corn in a small pan. Stir in black beans and season to taste.
4. To serve, divide into bowls with warm rice, cooked cod, salsa, slaw, avocado, and a squeeze of lime with cilantro garnish.
Notes
Substitute mayonnaise with plain yogurt for a lighter slaw. Use any cooked grain instead of rice (e.g., quinoa or cauliflower rice). Adjust jalapeno for spice level. Leftovers store well for 2-3 days in the fridge.
