I was searching through an old folder of random recipes and found a half sheet of paper with this great blackened tilapia recipe. I changed up a few things to make it my own. Always feel free to switch up things the way you'd like - because I truly feel that cooking is all about experimenting, using recipes as guidelines, and being creative. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you least expect - so get in the kitchen and try something new!
What You'll Need:
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 6 oz tilapia filets, skinless and boneless
3 tsp taco seasoning or cajun spices
2 tbsp peach mango salsa ( I made fresh salsa with onions, mangos, and green peppers with oil and white vinegar)
1 avocado - sliced
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 lime to sqeeze over dish
1) Sprinkle the taco seasoning or cajun spices on both sides of the fillets. In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil to medium high heat.
2) Once the skillet is hot, add the fillets.
3) While fish is cooking, chop the avocado and cherry tomatoes.
4) Turn the fish after 3 minutes, and cook until flaky and opaque.
5) Squeeze the lime over the fish, then spoon the salsa on top.
I served the fish over rice - couscous would be another good alternative. Let me know what you think!
