In this tempting fish dish, a blackening-spice mix infuses pan-seared tilapia with bold, craveable flavor. The fillets are served atop a heap of dirty cauliflower “rice” loaded with veggies, including tomato, celery, corn, scallion, and roasted red peppers. To tie all of those flavors together, there’s a drizzle of creamy Creole Dijonnaise, plus a dash of Cholula sauce for a tangy touch of heat. Tilapia is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°
