Notes

  • Make sure to really rub the spice mixture into the fish for maximum flavor.
  • Homemade salsa and guacamole taste best (use my recipes) but you can use store-bought as a short cut.
  • Serve this pan-fried tilapia with any grain or legume you like. Quinoa, brown rice, lentils, farro, white rice or bulgur - anything goes.
  • It's best to eat the dinner plate as is the same day, but use leftover tilapia for fish tacos or salad!
  • The bean mixture also makes the best nachos!
