Blackened Tilapia

I’m a huge fish lover and though I usually turn to baking it (it’s hard to mess up that way and healthy!)  I decided to spice it up and try a healthy blackened tilapia recipe!  It was easy, quick, and tasty!  I usually always have a lean protein, veggie, and healthy grain (and sometimes healthy fat) for dinner, so I paired the blackened tilapia with steamed broccoli and garlic-lime brown rice!  I’m a fan of brown rice but it can just get so blah- so I like to spice it up as well!  My garlic-lime rice recipe is here.

So all I did was mix a few spices together and viola!

This is for 4 filets of tilapia.

Ingredients

• 4 Tbsp Paprika
• 2 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt
• 2 tsp Onion Powder
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 3 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 tsp Black Pepper

Directions

1. Heat a medium skillet on medium-high heat. If non-stick add a Tbsp of water (if not add 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil)
2. Coat both sides of the tilapia with seasoning as desired.
3. Place tilapia in a skillet and cook about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for about 4-5 minutes. (Until fish flakes easily)

Enjoy your meal!
