Blackened Tilapia with Corn Stuffed Poblanos

I love anything blackened , be it , fish or chicken or whatever , blackened spices has a really great taste . I usually use it for chicken , using boneless chicken breast or thighs and flatten them up with the mallet , and then i would sprinkle / rub it with blackened spices .. then i would grill it . Perfect !

This time i bought tilapia , and i mixed my own blackened spices and this was a super quick easy dinner , you can always serve this with rice or potatoes or other veggies , i happened to serve it with corn stuffed poblanos . They’re not too bad either , just taking the time baking the pepper and corn . If you’ve tried mac and cheese stuffed poblanos , this is almost like that one too .
