Spice-crusted tilapia over rice with black beans, corn, and avocado — a bright, protein-packed bowl in twenty minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 fillets tilapia fillets
  • 1.5 cups cooked white rice
  • 0.5 cup corn kernels
  • 0.6 cup canned black beans, drained
  • 0.5 medium avocado, sliced
  • 3.5 tbsp salsa
  • 1 tbsp blackening seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Pat the tilapia dry and coat both sides generously with the blackening seasoning, pressing it on.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until nearly smoking, then cook the tilapia 3 minutes per side until a dark spice crust forms and the fish flakes easily.
  3. Warm the black beans and corn together in a small pot for 2 minutes.
  4. Divide the white rice between two bowls, flake the blackened tilapia on top, and add the beans, corn, avocado, and a spoonful of salsa.
