Fish dinners! They’re my go-to during the week (just look at some of the other white fish dinners I’ve made here!). They cook up faster than other proteins and are so so good for you. White fishes are really great because they just take on the flavors of everything surrounding it or put on in.
For dinner tonight, I used a bunch of spices to make a blackened fish and served it along side some jasmine rice and peas. It was prepped and cooked up in 15-minutes and we had a super healthy, delicious meal.

- 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions
- Combine the paprika, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl; mix until well combined. Sprinkle the spice rub evenly over both sides of the tilapia fillets.
