This grilled tilapia is a fresh and flavorful dish that fits in the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Meal Pattern, meaning it’s a good choice for those who are mindful of their blood pressure. Tender tilapia fillets are grilled to perfection and served with a vibrant salsa made from crunchy corn, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, all atop a bed of peppery arugula.
In a large bowl, combine corn, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, rice vinegar, olive oil, and cilantro. Toss well and set aside.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. Spray with cooking spray on both sides. Sprinkle evenly with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the pan with oil. Grill the tilapia for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.
Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Place a grilled tilapia fillet on top of the arugula. Spoon the crunchy corn salsa over and around the fish.
