  2. Grill the Fish: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place marinated fish on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it flakes easily. Let it rest before breaking into chunks.
  3. Make the Slaw: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated and set aside.
  4. Prepare Cauliflower Rice: Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Add cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Layer each bowl with cauliflower rice, grilled fish chunks, slaw, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
  6. Dress and Serve: Drizzle additional lime juice or cilantro lime dressing and serve immediately with lime wedges.
