What is Blackened Tilapia?

Blackened tilapia is a fish dish that gets its name from the cooking technique known as “blackening.” The process involves coating the fish in a spicy blend of seasonings and then cooking it at high heat, typically in a cast-iron skillet, which gives the fish a beautifully charred, flavorful crust. Tilapia is a mild, lean fish that absorbs spices well, making it a great choice for this technique.

Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchini (about 1-1/2 pounds)

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup pico de gallo

Directions

  • Trim ends of zucchini. Using a spiralizer, cut zucchini into thin strands.
  • Mix cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, smoked paprika, pepper and garlic powder; sprinkle mixture generously onto both sides of tilapia. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. In batches, cook tilapia until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan; keep warm.
  • In same pan, cook zucchini with garlic over medium-high heat until zucchini is slightly softened, 1-2 minutes, tossing constantly with tongs (do not overcook). Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve with tilapia and pico de gallo.
