Pan Seared Tilapia Over Indian Corn Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 red onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, chopped up
1/2 jalapeno, minced
4 ears of corn, (about 3 cups) kernels cut off the cob
1 tbsp. cumin
15 oz. can of white beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup of grape tomatoes, halved
1 lb. of tilapia
2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tbsp. butter
Big handful of cilantro, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat and add about 1 tsp of olive oil. Add in the onions, garlic, and jalapeno and cook for about five minutes or until the onions are translucent.

Stir in corn, cumin, and about a half a cup of water. Season with salt and pepper and pop a lid on. Cook for about three minutes.

Remove the lid and stir in the beans and tomatoes. Cook just until the beans and tomatoes are heated through.

Shut off the heat and stir in the butter and cilantro. Adjust seasonings.

In the meantime, season each side of the tilapia with salt, pepper, and paprika. Use your fingertips to rub in the spices.

Heat a separate sauté pan over a medium-high heat and add the rest of the olive oil. Once the oil is hot add the tilapia to the pan. Cook for about two minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and is just cooked through.

Serve your tilapia over a bed of the corn and bean mixture and enjoy!
