Instructions
CREMA
- Combine all crema ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy.
FISH
- Combine seasonings (chili powder, cumin, cayenne, paprika, onion powder, oregano) in a small dish, then rub seasoning mix into the fish filets.
- Heat a large skillet over MED HIGH heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and saute for about 20 seconds. Then add 2 tilapia filets.
- Once you add the filets, don’t move them, let them really sear. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip over and cook another 2 minutes or so.
- Fish should be cooked until opaque, white and flaky throughout. Remove filets to a plate, sprinkle with half the lime zest and repeat with remaining filets.
CORN SALSA
- Add another drizzle of vegetable oil to the same skillet, still over MED HIGH heat. Add corn, red onion and jalapeno to the skillet.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, really letting them sear. After 1-2 minutes, stir and cook another couple of minutes until they’re tender and caramelized.
- Add black beans and cook another minute.
ASSEMBLE
- Add rice (if using any) to a bowl, then top with some of the corn salsa, pieces of blackened fish, a drizzle of avocado crema, and any additional toppings you’d like.
