Preparation
1
Cook onions

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • In a medium pot, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium.
  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • When the pot is hot, add onions. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender.
  • Add half the Mexican Seasoning to the pot. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Remove from heat, then in a small bowl, reserve a quarter of the onions, then set aside. (NOTE: They will be used in step 5.)

2
Cook rice

  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the same pot with onions, add garlic salt and 1 1/4 cup (2 1/2 cups) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • To the boiling water, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered. 

3
Roast tilapia

  • Pat tilapia dry with paper towels, then season with remaining Mexican Seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add tilapia. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**

4
Prep

  • Meanwhile, zest, then juice lime.
  • Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Halve cucumber lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.

5
Make salsa and crema

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To the bowl with dressing, add tomatoes, cucumbers, reserved onions (from step 1) and half the cilantro, then toss to coat.
  • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) lime zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. 

6
Finish and serve

  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) lime zest and remaining cilantro.
  • Divide rice between bowls. Top with tilapia and tomato-cucumber salsa. Sprinkle feta over top.
  • Dollop lime crema over tilapia.
