Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg taco seasoning (1 1/4 oz)
3 Tbsp garlic oil (or olive oil)
4 boneless, skinless tilapia fillet (about 4.25 oz. each)
PINEAPPLE SALSA
1/2 medium pineapple
1/4 small red onion
1 serrano pepper (or jalapeno if you wish to have less heat)
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
1/8 tsp salt
1 lime, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. As pan heats, peel pineapple half; cut lengthwise into two pieces and remove core. Slice each pineapple piece lengthwise into strips. Arrange strips in a single layer over grill pan; cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear. Set aside.
  • 2. While pineapple cooks, chop onion and cut pepper in half lengthwise, removing and discarding seeds. Chop chile and cilantro. Combine onion, pepper, cilantro and salt in a small bowl. Zest the lime to measure 1 tsp. zest and juice lime to measure 1 tbsp. juice. Add both to onion mixture and mix well.
  • 3. Whisk taco seasoning mix and oil in a bowl. Add tilapia; turn to coat. Place two tilapia fillets on grill pan. Cook 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Turn tilapia over; cook 2 minutes or until tilapia flakes easily with a fork. Remove tilapia from pan. Wipe out pan and repeat with remaining fillets.
  • 4. As tilapia cooks, chop pineapple and add to onion mixture; mix well. Top tilapia with pineapple salsa.
