Description

This complete meal is conveniently prepared in a single recipe, eliminating the need to search for additional side dishes. Easily adjust the servings to prepare multiple meals for the week ahead. The base of this dish begins with tender cauliflower rice, lightly fried and enriched with melted butter.

Atop this bed of rice, you'll find a vibrant stir-fry of bok choy, cremini mushrooms, and cashews. The bok choy and mushrooms offer a satisfying, low-carb element, while the cashews contribute a boost of healthy fats and a delightful crunch. The meal is crowned with a dry-rubbed Asian-inspired fish fillet, seasoned with a blend of curry powder, chili powder, lemon, and ginger.

You can serve the fillet whole, artfully placed over the rice and vegetables, or flake the fish and mix it into the stir-fry. Consider enhancing the flavors and textures with toppings like sesame seeds, sliced green onion, or a drizzle of spicy mayonnaise. If the specified fish is unavailable, or if you prefer another variety, there are several suitable alternatives.

This particular fish is a mild-flavored white fish that cooks to a beautifully flaky consistency. Cod, tilapia, or flounder are excellent substitutes, readily available at most grocery stores. Whether you opt for frozen or fresh fish is a matter of personal preference and may influence the final dish's overall quality.

As this recipe is designed for meal preparation, the cooked components can be conveniently stored together in individual containers, making it easy to grab a nutritious meal on the go. The fish stir-fry and rice can be refrigerated for up to 5 days, although the storage time may vary depending on the freshness of the fish used.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare cleaned swai catfish fillets by rubbing them down with olive oil. Season the fillets heavily with lemon pepper, chili powder, pepper, curry powder, onion powder, and dried ground ginger, and gently press the seasonings into the flesh. Set the fish aside in a dish in your refrigerator to marinate with the dry rub for at least 1 hour. Don marinate beyond 2 hours.
    2.
    When the fish is nearing the end of marination, you can make the other components of your meal prep. To make the cauliflower rice and stir fry vegetables, use a wok. However, if you don t own a wok, a standard non-stick pan will work. Heat the first amount of avocado oil in your wok over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the hot cauliflower rice to the wok and season it with salt, pepper, and chopped green onion. Cook and toss the rice in the hot oil until it is fried to a light golden.
    3.
    Reduce the heat on your wok and add the butter to the cauliflower rice. Toss the rice again in the melted butter until it s coated. Let the rice fry in the butter for just 1 or 2 minutes in your wok. Then, transfer the finished cauliflower to your meal prep containers and return the wok to your stove. Chop cremini mushrooms and thin-slice washed bok choy and combine them in a mixing bowl. Add chopped cashews to the vegetables.
    4.
    Heat the second amount of avocado oil in the wok again on high heat. When the oil is hot, add the vegetables and cashews to the wok. Season the wok with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and minced garlic, stirring all the ingredients together to combine. Toss and stir the veggies and cashews in the oil until they re done. The bok choy and mushrooms should be very tender with golden brown char marks. The chopped cashews will be soft enough to pierce with a fork and also have some golden brown char. Transfer the stir-fried vegetables to the meal prep containers with the cauliflower rice.
    5.
    Grab a new, clean, regular non-stick pan to make the fish. Heat the pan without any oil over medium-high heat. Wait until the pan is hot, then place the seasoned swai fillets down in the pan. Cook the fish undisturbed until it blackens and naturally releases from the pan. Use a fish spatula to flip the fish over and cook the same way on the other side. You can reduce the heat as necessary on the second side to avoid burning the pan or drying out the fish. Let the fish rest for just a couple of minutes before serving it with your stir-fried veggies and cauliflower rice.
