Blackened Tilapia with steamed carrots

Happy Holiday weekend! I am sorry for not posting sooner, it has been crazy busy at work. I made this last week, when the hubbie was in town, for a nice weeknight dinner. I got the recipe from Real Simple, and it has been a great addition to our menu. I bought a package of frozen Tilapia fillets at Costco, and have found two different recipes to make them :)

I am also making tomato sauce today, and will post that recipe soon. I am working on the September menu, and perhaps a better way to post it on this site.

Happy Labor day weekend!


Ingredients
4 6oz Tilapia fillets
2 tbsp of Blackening Cajun seasoning ( I found this at Winco)
3 tbps of Canola Oil
1 1/2 lbs of baby carrots
1 package of corn bread, for serving with

Directions
I sprayed the fillets with cooking spray, and then rubbed the Blackening seasoning on them. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and place canola oil in the skillet. Wait until oil is heated, about five minutes, and place the fillets in the skillet. Cook each side for at least 3 minutes before turning. In the meantime, steam the carrots and season them with salt and pepper.

I served this with cornbread and the hubbie placed hot sauce on the cornbread, which he says was awesome :)

I will post more recipes this coming week, watch for the September menu coming soon :)
