These spicy seafood stuffed peppers are Mexican-inspired and pack in irresistible spice! Made with white fish, these peppers pack in nourishing protein but don’t compromise on flavor!green yellow and red bell peppers stuffed with cheese and seafood in baking dishIf you’re looking for a fun twist on stuffed peppers, you have to try a seafood filling! Seafood is a satisfying and nourishing source of lean protein.

The filling for these peppers is Mexican-inspired – packed with lots of spice and flavor! Filled with brown rice and black beans, these peppers are also a great source of fiber.

A good source of carbs, protein, and fat, these peppers are sure to keep you feeling full and satisfied. 

Ingredients You’ll Need

Notes on Ingredients

Cod: cod is one of my favorite white fish varieties because it’s tender, flaky and flavorful, but any white fish variety will do. Think haddock, tilapia or grouper. These would be delicious with shrimp too. You could always do a combination of both!

Chili powder: adds smoky and spicy flavor

Paprika: adds a sweeter spice

Cayenne pepper: dials up the heat! If you like things hotter on the spice spectrum, add more cayenne!

Black beans: I used canned – be sure to drain and rinse before using

Brown rice: I use frozen (microwavable) brown rice to save on time

Tomatoes: I like to use tomatoes on-the-vine (or from my local farmer’s market if in-season!) as I think they’re most flavorful

Sour cream: adds a creamy element to the filling. Could use Greek yogurt instead!

Pepper Jack cheese: adds another element of heat and delicious melty cheesiness

Bell peppers: any color will do! I like to use a variety of red, green, yellow, and orange for visual appeal!

How to Make Seafood Stuffed Peppers

graphic with step by step photos for how to make seafood stuffed peppers

  1. Make spice rub. Combine chili powder, paprika, cayenne and salt. Rub 1/2 spice mixture on both sides of the fish. Save the rest for the filling.
  2. Cook fish. Cook cod in a nonstick pan over medium heat until tender and flaky, about 2-3 minutes on each side. USDA recommends cooking fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  3. Make the filling. Over low heat, add beans, tomatoes, rice, sour cream, Pepper Jack cheese, and remaining spice mixture to the pan with the cod.
  4. Stuff peppers. Place bell peppers into a small baking dish (peppers should be snug). Fill peppers to the top with filling.
  5. Bake peppers. Cover baking dish with foil and bake peppers at 400 degrees F until slightly tender, about 30-35 minutes. Remove foil, add remaining cheese over top and bake until cheese is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

Expert Tips

  • Break apart the fish into small pieces right in the pan. Cod will flake apart easily in the pan so no need to dirty another dish!
  • Use canned beans and frozen brown rice for time-savers!

Stuffed Peppers FAQs

Do you have to boil or soften peppers before stuffing them?

Some recipes call for pre-baking or boiling the peppers before you stuff them. Rather than create an extra step, we found that baking for longer (an hour in total) helped to soften the peppers. 

Do you slice peppers lengthwise or cut the tops off for stuffed peppers?

This is mostly a preference! You can cut the tops off and then chop them up for diced peppers to use in another dish. Or, you can cut them in half lengthwise. This way you’re filling your plate with two halves instead of one pepper, it’s a bit easier to cut and eat, and there’s more surface area for melted cheese! If you’re going to go the lengthwise-way, you’ll want to use a large baking dish to fit all the pepper halves!

What other seafood can I use?

I like using cod in this recipe but you could use any type of mild white fish – tilapia, grouper, or haddock. Shrimp would also be delicious!

Can I make this recipe vegetarian? Yes! Simply omit the fish and add more beans and rice!

Storage and Preparation

Stuffed peppers leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

To save time, you can prepare the filling up to two days in advance and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
