I love white fish, so tilapia is one of my favorites. This blackened tiplapia recipe is one of my favorite ways to cook it. I'll make this and put some rice on the side and veggies. Hop you enjoy!
Ingredients for Seasoning:
2 tablespoons smoked paprika, see shopping tips
2 teaspoons onion powder
1½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne pepper)
Ingredients for Fish:
4 pieces Tilapia (5 ounces each) see shopping tips
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
Lemon slices
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix together all seasoning ingredients. Spread out on a plate.
2. Rinse tilapia and pat dry. Dip each piece into seasonings and coat on each side. Be sure each piece is coated well.
3. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pan. When pan is hot, add fish, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, turn fish over, cover, and continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes, until fish is done.
4. Be sure to serve with lemon slices. This fish tastes particularly delicious with lemon squeezed over the top.
