Step 1 Make the avocado dressing
Add all ingredients for avocado dressing to a mini-food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, adding water if desired for a thinner consistency. Refrigerate, if needed, until ready to use.
-
Step 2 Prepare the rockfish
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska rockfish under cold water; dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl or measuring cup, blend cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Squeeze lime juice over fish. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over both sides of the fish. Reserve remaining seasoning for another recipe.

Step 3 Broil the fish
Spray-coat a grill/broiler/sauté pan; heat over medium-high heat, then add rockfish. Cook 6-8 minutes per side for frozen rockfish or 3-5 minutes per side for fresh/thawed fish, just until fish is opaque throughout. Set on a plate and cover loosely with foil while finishing the cauliflower risotto.
-
Step 4 Meanwhile, make the cauliflower risotto
Chop fresh cauliflower into tiny florets (or “rice”), if using. Heat oil over medium heat in non-stick sauté pan. Add riced cauliflower, asparagus, peas and mushrooms; sauté 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 5 Plate and serve
Divide the risotto among 4 plates, top with a rockfish fillet and drizzle with avocado goddess dressing. Serve immediately.
