This recipe combines the delicate flavor of tilapia with a vibrant tropical salsa, creating a dish that's both refreshing and satisfying.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the fish to achieve a nice sear.
Combine the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Sprinkle the tilapia fillets evenly with the spice mixture.
Pat the seasoning onto the fish gently to help it adhere.
Place the seasoned tilapia in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, plum tomato, cilantro, and lime juice.
Chop the ingredients finely for a well-mixed salsa.
Serve the cooked tilapia topped with the tropical salsa.
Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges for extra flavor.
