Blackened Tilapia
Blackened Tilapia
Tilapia is a flaky and light tasting fish that is absolutely delicious and Tom K., one of our great friends at Lake 96.1 FM in Lake Geneva, shared how to make an easy Blackened Tilapia dish. The Blackened Seasoning adds a Cajun flair with just a touch of heat that’s balanced by the Olive Oil – Butter sauce. It only takes about 15 minutes to make this recipe, so try it at home tonight!
