🧂 Ingredients:
For the Fish:
2 white fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, or haddock) 🐟
1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder

Cook the rice according to package instructions until light and fluffy.
In a small bowl, mix all blackened seasoning ingredients and coat the fish fillets evenly.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
