Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1¾ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep and cook the onion and beans
- Peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Rinse the black beans.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans and chile-lime salsa and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. While the onion and beans are cooking, start preparing the seafood.
3
Prep and cook the seafood
- Pat the seafood dry on a paper-towel-lined plate (if using shrimp, rinse and drain, then pat dry); season lightly with salt and pepper and the blackening spice blend.
In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking.
For pollock:
Arrange the fish in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until very lightly browned on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the fish and cook until opaque and flaky, about 1 minute.
For salmon:
Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.
For shrimp:
Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until firm and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side for regular shrimp, 2 to 3 minutes per side for jumbo shrimp.
Transfer the seafood to a plate. While the seafood is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.
4
Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the rice
- Zest and juice the lime.
- Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside half for garnish.
To the pot with the rice, stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and up to half the cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual bowls. Top with the black beans and then the seafood. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve.
