I accompanied it with a coucous salad that I make all the time during the summer but thought it would go good with this...and I was right. Definitely a keeper for even a weekday meal. YUM-O!
Blackened TilapiaAdapted from Paula Deen
1/4 cup sweet paprika
1 Tbsp ground thyme
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
4 (10-ounce) tilapia fillets
In a shallow dish, combine first 6 ingredients.
Pour melted butter into another shallow dish. Dip fish fillets in melted butter and coat with seasoning mixture.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook prepared fish, in batches if necessary, 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

i love tilapia! yum.
I thought this was pretty good. I found that the mixture was a bit too savory for our taste buds and wouldn't choose to coat it as heavy next time - perhaps just a light dusting. I tried to coat it as it looked in your picture, but that was really too much for us.
I didn't try your couscous salad, but I had the fish with a different one and it was indeed a good pairing. I still want to try your couscous sometime though - maybe on my next attempt with the fish.
Thanks!
