  3. Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook tilapia fillets for 4 minutes per first side and then carefully flip.

  4. Do not overcrowd your skillet, as this will cause your tilapia to steam and not brown. Instead, you can use half the oil and cook in 2 batches if needed

  5. Rest fish for 5 minutes before serving with Apple Salsa.

  6. Boil quinoa rice in 2cps water. Simmer and cover about 15min or until water is absorbed.

  7. Mix together apple, cilantro, and red onion with juice from 2nd lime. Season with a pinch of salt if desired
