Notes
I used ling fillet but any mild white fish will work well for this recipe.
Feel free to use less or more jalapeño depending on your spice tolerance and taste preference.
Not a fan of jalapeño? Try this classic guacamole instead.
You can prepare cauliflower rice in a big batch to save time. Simply freeze raw cauliflower rice in a large freezer bag and defrost as needed.
