Cooking Steps
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse black beans.
- Once boiling, add rice, black beans and vegetable stock powder, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 14-16 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
- Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
- Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add pineapple, tomatoes, lime juice, half the green onions, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Pat tilapia dry with paper towels, then cut each fillet in half crosswise.
- Season with Cajun Spice Blend.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then tilapia. Cook until spice blend darkens and tilapia is opaque and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, lime zest and remaining green onions.
- Divide rice and beans between plates.
- Top with tilapia and salsa.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.
