Tilapia is one of my favorite fish! It’s very versatile and you’ll probably see it used in more of my recipes. You’re gonna love this dish with it blackened and pan-fried. The tarter sauce on top is tangy and refreshing. But, please do serve it with the side of farro salad for a totally protein-power-packed dinner.
