Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, to a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.  
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop half the cilantro (use all for 4 servings).
  • Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice lime.
Cook veggies
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then half the corn (use all for 4 servings). Cook for 2 min, stirring occasionally, until corn starts to char.
  • Add onions. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat. Transfer veggies to a medium bowl to cool slightly.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Prep and cook tilapia
4
  • Pat tilapia dry with paper towels, pressing well to absorb as much moisture as possible, then season with pepper and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt.
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high, when hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then add tilapia. Pan-fry for 3-4 min per side, until tilapia is cooked through.**
Make salsa
5
  • Meanwhile, to the bowl with veggies, add tomatoes, half the cilantro, half the lime zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then add remaining lime zest and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, stirring for 1 min, until melted.
  • Divide rice between bowls. Top with salsa and tilapia.
  • Drizzle chipotle sauce over top of tilapia.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.

If you've opted to get tilapia, prep and cook in the same way as salmon, pan-frying for 3-4 min per side, until cooked through.**
