Blackened Tilapia with Papaya Salsa and Asparagus:

4 Tilapia fillets (large)
Blackened Seasoning
Kosher Salt
1 Cup of cubed papaya
1 Cup of chopped red onion
¼ cup Cilantro
Lemon Juice
1 Bundle of fresh asparagus (ends broken off)
1 tbs Garlic pepper seasoning
Cooking Spray

Using a medium size skillet, spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray and add asparagus with 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tbs garlic pepper seasoning. Saute asparagus on medium-high heat till desired tenderness.

To prepare the salsa combine papaya, red onion, two tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp of salt in a medium size skillet while cooking over medium-high heat. Allow the onions to caramelize and become fragrant. If salsa becomes dry while cooking, add extra lemon juice.

On a plate arrange Tilapia fillets. Spray both sides of fillets with cooking spray and season with blackened seasoning. Heating a large skillet on high, spray the skillet and add fillets. Cook fillets 2-4 mins each side or until opaque and flaky.

Serve the Tilapia with salsa on top and asparagus on the side. Garnish Tilapia and salsa with cilantro and enjoy!
