Tilapia With Flavor Food

TILAPIA WITH FLAVOR

Steps:

• Place fish on baking dish or foil brushed with oil.
• Smear mayonnaise over all. Sprinkle with lemon pepper and bread crumbs.
• Bake in a 400-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, according to thickness of fish.
• Serve with lemon wedges or tartar sauce.
• **Note: Use other flavored seasonings such as onion powder, dill or garlic in place of lemon pepper.

BAKED TILAPIA WITH LOTS OF SPICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• In a small bowl combine the spices from the salt through the Italian seasoning and set it aside.
• In a shallow container mix the bread crumbs, dried parsley, and green onions.
• Measure 4 tsp of the spice mix and sprinkle that all over the 4 fish fillets.
• Add the remaining spice mix to the bread crumbs, mixing well. Add the olive oil to the bread crumb mix, blending it in with your hands.
• Dredge the fish in the breadcrumbs, coating well.
• Shake off any excess breadcrumbs.
• Place the fish on a baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
• Bake for 6 minutes.
• Turn over and bake for 4 minutes.
• Turn over again and bake until flaky, about 4 more minutes.
• Serve immediately.

TILAPIA WITH ONION CRUST

Steps:

• NOTE: Use any fresh herb such as basil, sage, rosemary or a combination.
• Heat the oil in a heavy pan, add the onion and fry until caramelized (brown).
• In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs and herbs.
• Add the caramelized onions to the crumb mixture and combine well.
• Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.
• Dip fish into the beaten egg, then into the crumb mixture and pat lightly to help crumbs adhere to fillet. I usually refrigerate the breaded fish for 15 minutes or so, but this is just my preference.
• Pan fry in olive oil til crust is golden and fish is of desired doneness, about 5 minute per side.
• Serve with your favorite side dish. I like mine with plain steamed basmati rice and cold sliced cucumbers.
