- 1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
- 1 ½ tsps (7.5 mL) lime juice

Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and preheat the oven to 400°F, creating an optimal cooking environment for the fish fillets.

- Crema Creation: Whisk together sour cream, lime juice, honey, milk, and salt to develop a smooth, tangy honey lime crema that will elevate the dish’s overall flavor profile.
- Bowl Assembly: Layer cauliflower rice as the base, top with crisp coleslaw, and carefully place the baked fish fillet in the center of the bowl to create a visually appealing and texturally interesting foundation.
- Final Garnishing: Adorn the bowl with creamy avocado slices, generously drizzle the prepared honey lime crema, and sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro to complete this low-carb taco bowl with a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- Prep Ahead: Thaw fish fillets completely before seasoning to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
- Seasoning Secret: Use high-quality taco seasoning or create a homemade blend for a more personalized taste profile.
