Steps to make Chili Lime Pan Seared Tilapia with Apple Salsa and Quinoa:
- Mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, orange peel, and zest of 1 lime together in a small bowl.
- Remove tilapia fillets from package and rub both sides of each fillet with the chili mixture.
- Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook tilapia fillets for 4 minutes per first side and then carefully flip.
- Do not overcrowd your skillet, as this will cause your tilapia to steam and not brown. Instead, you can use half the oil and cook in 2 batches if needed
- Rest fish for 5 minutes before serving with Apple Salsa.
- Boil quinoa rice in 2cps water. Simmer and cover about 15min or until water is absorbed.
- Mix together apple, cilantro, and red onion with juice from 2nd lime. Season with a pinch of salt if desired
- Place bed of Quinoa, Tilapia, and top with Apple Salsa. Serve and enjoy!
The tilapia is lightly pan-seared, rather than breaded and deep-fried, making these fish tacos a healthier alternative to many of their restaurant counterparts. This is my take on the cilantro-lime quinoa bowl from everyone's favorite Mexican-inspired coastal fast food chain. Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
