# Steps:
01 - Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Combine with Cajun seasoning, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until all pieces are evenly coated.
02 - Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high. Add the seasoned fish and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until fish is opaque and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.

04 - Divide cooked rice among serving bowls. Arrange cooked fish on top, sprinkle with cheese, and layer tomatoes, lettuce, corn, avocado, red onion, and cilantro attractively around each bowl.
05 - Drizzle with prepared sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side.
