<\/a>Combine Cumin, Coriander, Paprika, Salt, and Red Pepper in a small bowl.\u00a0 The red pepper adds quite a punch, so use it sparingly if you have little maniacs eating with you.\u00a0 (Yes, I know that from experience.)<\/p>\n<\/a>Mix well.\u00a0 Divide mixture in half.<\/p>\n<\/a>I find that tilapia is more delicate than some fish, and it makes me want to lose my mind when half of it falls through the grill grate.\u00a0 I don’t have a flat grill pan, so I just make a redneck grill pan out of foil.\u00a0 Easy to grill, easy to clean.<\/p>\n<\/a>I chose tilapia because it’s mild and it was on SALE!\u00a0 Halibut, orange roughy, any mild fish will work, so choose the fish you prefer.\u00a0 I prefer the least expensive…therefore, tilapia it is!<\/p>\n<\/a>Place the grill pan on a prepared grill.\u00a0 Grill at low-medium until it flakes easily with a fork.\u00a0 Grills vary so much, but on my grill it takes about 10 minutes.\u00a0 I like my fish cooked through but not tough.<\/p>\n<\/a>As your fish is cooking, prepare the papaya-avocado salsa.<\/p>\n<\/a>Cut it in half.\u00a0 Use a spoon to remove slimy little seeds.\u00a0 (Similar to scraping the inside of a cantaloupe.)<\/p>\n<\/a>Dice the papaya and avocado in to small cubes.\u00a0 Chop cilantro.<\/p>\n<\/a>Save the avocado seed to prevent the avocado from turning brown.<\/p>\n<\/a>Place cilantro, avocado, and papaya (and avocado seed) in a bowl.\u00a0 Add reserved spice mixture and juice from 1 small lime.\u00a0 Fold ingredients together to mix well.<\/p>\n<\/a>Place a spoonful of salsa on your freshly grilled fish and enjoy your yummy, lovely, healthy meal!<\/p>\n<\/a>I served it with cilantro-lime rice, kale chips, and cantaloupe this time.\u00a0 All easy!\u00a0 All a HIT!<\/p>\n<\/a>Recipe for Grilled Tilapia with Papaya-Avocado Salsa<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
