Step 1

Mix dry ingredients together in a small bowl to create blackening powder. Then moisten the sides of each tilapia filet (either with water or cooking spray), and coat with blackening powder. (I generally use about 1 Tbsp. powder per filet.)

Step 2

Heat 1 Tbsp. of oil per filet in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is almost smoking, add filets and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until fish is opaque and can be flaked with a fork. Remove from pan and serve immediately.

Chef’s notes

You can mix the blackening powder in advance and store it in your pantry for quick use.

The dish can be served on its own, in fish tacos, or on sandwiches.

Consider pairing with stir-fried vegetables and fresh fruit for a complete meal.
