Tilapia Al Ajillo Garlic Tilapia Food

BREADED GARLIC-HERB TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Pat fish fillets dry.
• Mix bread crumbs, seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a zip-top bag. Seal the bag and toss ingredients together in the sealed bag until thoroughly mixed.
• Mix milk and egg together in a bowl. Place fillets, 1 at a time, into egg mixture, shaking off excess. Place into the zip-top bag, seal, and shake to coat evenly. Transfer fillets to the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until easily flaked with a fork, about 15 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and continue to cook for until edges are crisp, about 5 minutes more.

GARLIC ALFREDO TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Brush the tilapia fillets with oil on both sides, season with Creole seasoning to taste, then place into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the flesh is no longer translucent, and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic has softened and the aroma has mellowed, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Alfredo sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and keep warm until the fish is ready. Pour the sauce over the fish to serve. Sprinkle with additional Creole seasoning if desired.

TILAPIA AL AJILLO (GARLIC TILAPIA)

Steps:

• Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Put fillets in first, and when they start to turn color a bit (after 1-2 minutes) add garlic slices.
• Continue cooking about 4 minutes or so, then flip fillets.
• Fry until cooked through, and fish flakes easily with a fork-- this will depend entirely on the thickness of your fillets, so you will need to watch them carefully.
• The garlic should turn a dark golden brown, but not be burned, if you notice that the garlic is starting to burn, spoon it over the fish, so it is no longer in contact with the pan.
• Serve with freshly squeezed lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley.

LOW-FAT JALAPENO GARLIC TILAPIA

• Prepare the angel hair in boiling water, and allow it to cook for 3 to 4 minutes depending on the temperature of the water.
• As the filets begin to flake, add the heavy cream, and bring it to a slight boil.
• Once the cream begins to boil, remove the pan from the fire and reduce the lemon butter into the sauce.
• Place the pasta in a bowl, and pour the fish with the sauce over the pasta.
• Garnish with fresh roma tomatoes and parsley.
