Step 1

Combine all crema ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Combine seasonings (chili powder, cumin, cayenne, paprika, onion powder, oregano) in a small dish, then rub seasoning mix into the fish filets.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over MED HIGH heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil.  Add minced garlic and saute for about 20 seconds.  Then add 2 tilapia filets.

Step 4

Once you add the filets, don’t move them, let them really sear.  Cook for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip over and cook another 2 minutes or so.

Step 5

Fish should be cooked until opaque, white and flaky throughout.  Remove filets to a plate, sprinkle with half the lime zest and repeat with remaining filets.

Step 6

Add another drizzle of vegetable oil to the same skillet, still over MED HIGH heat.  Add corn, red onion and jalapeno to the skillet.

Step 7

Cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring, really letting them sear.  After 1-2 minutes, stir and cook another couple of minutes until they’re tender and caramelized.

Step 8

Add black beans and cook another minute.

Step 9

Add rice (if using any) to a bowl, then top with some of the corn salsa, pieces of blackened fish, a drizzle of avocado crema, and any additional toppings you’d like.
