Blackened Tilapia with Radish and Cucumber Salsa
POINTS® value | 3 Servings | 4 Preparation Time | 25 min Cooking Time | 7 min Level of Difficulty | Easy
main meals | This spicy dish works well in summer or winter. The cooling flavors of the salsa help balance the heat from the fish.
Ingredients
1 sprays cooking spray 1 1/2 pound raw farm-raised tilapia 3 Tbsp Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Blends Blackened Redfish Magic, or other brand, or to taste 5 medium radishes, red 1 medium cucumber(s), chopped 1/2 medium sweet red pepper(s), chopped 3 medium scallion(s), sliced 1 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice 1 tsp olive oil 1/8 tsp table salt 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Coat a large nonstick sauté pan with cooking spray. Coat tilapia with blackening spice and cook over medium-high heat until fish flakes with a fork, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining fillets. (Note: Do not over-crowd fish in pan. Only cook as much fish as can fit in a single layer.)
Slice each radish in half and then thinly slice each half into 1/2 moons. Combine cucumber, radishes, red pepper, scallions, cilantro, lime juice and olive oil in a medium bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper and serve on top of fish. Yields about five ounces of fish and a scant 1/2 cup of salsa per serving.

I should have added that I have made this using pineapple instead of cucumber, tonight I made the salsa with both pineapple and cucumber and I use more cilantro as we love the flavor.
