1 Tsp of Neocell Collagen Powder
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
2 tbsp coconut oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Salt and pepper

Heat your coconut oil on the stove, and once it’s hot and liquify, add the tilapia to the pan at medium-high heat. You should get a nice sizzle when you start cooking it.
Cook for about 4 minutes on each side. You’ll know when to flip the tilapia when the quinoa looks browned and crispy.
Since all fillets vary in size, you can cut into the center of the tilapia to see if it is ready; it should be nice and flaky inside.
Add salt and pepper to each side of fillets. Remove from pan and add your mango-avocado salsa right on top.
