Grilled Tilapia with Avocado Lime Salsa

24 Day Challenge

Ingredients:

2-3 boneless, skinless tilapia fillets

Olive oil spray

1 t. cumin

1 t. paprika

1 t. onion powder

1 1/2 t. black pepper

1 t. seasoning salt

1 t. chili powder

2 avocados, peeled and chopped

1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and deveined, finely diced

1/2-1 cup diced red onion

1 cup green, red and yellow pepper (I used green)

2 limes, juiced

1 T. olive oil

1 T. red wine vinegar

1/2 cup cilantro, stems removed and chopped

Directions:

Rinse tilapia and pat dry.  Lightly spray with olive oil.

In a small bowl, combine, cumin, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, salt and chili powder and stir well to combine.  Use this dry rub to coat fish.  Place fish in fridge and allow to soak in for 30 minutes.  

In a medium bowl, combine avocados, jalapeno, onion, bell pepper, lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar and cilantro. Stir to combine and refrigerate salsa until ready to use.

Preheat grill to medium high heat.  If using a grilling basket, which I recommend, place fish inside prior to grilling. Cook fish for about 4-5 minutes per side.  

Top fillets with Avocado Lime Salsa and serve immediately. I served it with brown rice and spinach.
