- Heat grill to high heat.
- Pat the tilapia filets dry with paper towels and sprinkle with cajun seasoning. Use your fingers to rub it on both sides.
- Oil the grill. Add the tilapia filets and cook for about 3 minutes per side or until it flakes with a fork.
- In a medium bowl stir together oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add corn, cucumber, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and cherry tomatoes. Toss to coat.
- Serve the tilapia with the corn salsa. Top with feta cheese, or you can add it to the salsa.
- If you don't have a grill you can broil the tilapia. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease well. Add the prepared tilapia and broil under low heat for 5-8 minutes or until it flakes with a fork.
