Tilapia With Sweet Onion Ale Sauce Food

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.
