Blackened Tilapia with Chayote-Mango Pasta Salad
Being from the Caribbean, my partner Lu loves tropical flavors—he goes crazy for anything that comes with mango. I’ve made him swordfish with mango-avocado salsa, zucchini pasta cooked with mango and coconut flakes, and this tilapia recipe, which is probably his favorite. The spicy, blackened fish gets along famously with the sweet mango and refreshing chayote and bell pepper. With fresh herbs like cilantro and mint, you’ll have to check out your window to make sure you’re not at the beach!
Ingredients
- 1 large chayote, spiralized with blade d, noodles trimmed
- 1 red bell pepper, spiralized with blade a, noodles trimmed

Directions
Make the salad: Place all the ingredients for the salad in a large bowl. Gently toss to combine and marinate in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Make the seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the spices for the seasoning. Rub it into both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the tilapia. Cook for minutes per side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
