Kellys Pan Fried Tilapia Recipes

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.

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.

• 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.
