Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to packet instructions.

  2. 2

    Rub the Cajun spice blend all over the tilapia fillets and season with salt.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the tilapia for 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred at the edges.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, dice the red onion finely. Drain the sweetcorn and mix with the red onion, lime juice and roughly chopped coriander to make a quick salsa.

  5. 5

    Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Serve the spiced tilapia alongside the rice, topped with the sweetcorn salsa and extra lime wedges.
