Recipe Notes
You can mix the greens together a day or two ahead of time and divide it out for lunches! Simple season with remaining ingredients and top with fish the morning you plan to consume it. For more spice, add more cayenne pepper to the blackened tilapia rub. If you don’t have lime juice, lemon juice will work too!

Hi! I think there was way too much paprika which made the dish too spicy… maybe lessen it?

You know, I liked it the way we made it but you can totally do less for your own taste buds!
