Kellys Pan Fried Tilapia Food

PAN FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Warm up olive oil in a 10" or 12" skillet.
• Mix the corn meal and Old Bay seasoning thoroughly, then spread out on a platter.
• Coat tilapia fillets lightly, but thoroughly with corn meal and Old Bay mixture.
• Lay coated fillets in hot olive oil (medium-medium high heat) and cook until golden on the bottom, then turn fillets over and repeat.
• Do not overcook the fish--it's easy to do.
• While fillets are cooking, combine Miracle Whip, sweet relish, and lemon juice and stir until well blended, then serve with the fish.
• It's quick, easy, and doesn't require a lot of cleanup.
• Steamed carrots or broccoli and some form of potatoes go well with this.

PAN FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a shallow baking dish combine flour, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the tilapia and lightly coat each side.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess seasoned flour and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place tilapia on a baking sheet that is lined with a paper grocery bag or paper towels and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce.
• Turn down the heat to the pan the tilapia was cooked to low and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic, lemon juice and parsley and saute for 2 minutes. Place the fillets on serving plates or a platter, top with the sauce and serve.

BIG DADDY'S BLACKENED TILAPIA

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine all of the spices. Press a heaping tablespoon of the spice mix onto each fillet so that both sides are liberally coated. Allow the fish to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature prior to cooking.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is almost smoking, add the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with lemon juice and transfer the fillets to serving platter.

TANGY PAN FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Coat Tilapia fillets in Dijon mustard.
• Then dip in panko to coat.
• Heat oil in skillet on med/high - I try to use as little as I can get away with.
• Pan Fry fillets until golden brown on both sides.
• Try to turn fillets only once since Tilapia is delicate and can fall apart.
• Season with salt and pepper while still hot.

PAN-FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, Cajun seasoning, basil, parsley, and lemon-pepper seasoning. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tilapia fillets and increase heat to medium-high.
• Cook tilapia until opaque and easily flaked with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Adjust temperature if it browns too quickly.

Steps:

• Put bread crumbs into a shallow dish.
• Gently press tilapia fillets into bread crumbs to coat. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded tilapia onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook tilapia in hot oil until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked fillets to a plate.
• Top each fillet with salsa; cook in microwave to get the salsa hot, about 15 seconds.
