Ingredients
- 4 tilapia filets
- 1/4 cup blackening seasoning store bought or homemade
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 large avocado diced
- 1 cucumber seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon plus more lemon wedges for serving
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat until screaming hot. You might want to turn your fan on or open a window for this one!
- Meanwhile, pat the tilapia filets dry with a paper towel. Coat each in 1 tablespoon of the blackening seasoning, pressing it onto the fish so it sticks on every part of the surface.
- Melt butter (4 tablespoons) in the skillet. Add the tilapia and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until fish is fully cooked and flakes apart easily with a fork. If you need to cook it in two batches, use half the butter for each batch.
- Meanwhile, mix the avocado, cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, and kosher salt to taste in a small bowl.
- Serve blackened tilapia with the avocado cucumber salsa, with more lemon wedges (optional).
