Blackened Tilapia with Zucchini Noodles

Even though this recipe calls for Tilapia, I believe Lake of the Woods Walleye would actually be the very best for taste. Try it!!

Ingredients

2 large zucchini (about 1-1/2 pounds)
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Use Blackened Walleye for this recipe with Zucchini and delight in the taste!!
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup pico de gallo

Directions

Trim ends of zucchini. Using a spiralizer, cut zucchini into thin strands.
Mix cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, smoked paprika, pepper and garlic powder; sprinkle mixture generously onto both sides of tilapia. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. In batches, cook tilapia until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan; keep warm.
In same pan, cook zucchini with garlic over medium-high heat until zucchini is slightly softened, 1-2 minutes, tossing constantly with tongs (do not overcook). Sprinkle with remaining salt. Serve with tilapia and pico de gallo.
