Oven Fried Sesame Tilapia Recipes

PAN-FRIED TILAPIA WITH SESAME CRUST

Steps:

• To make wonton crisps, fill a large skillet with about 1-inch of vegetable oil and heat over medium.
• When it shimmers, add the wonton wrappers a handful at a time. Fry until golden, about 1 minute.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season immediately with salt and lime zest. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, sriracha, ginger, and garlic to make a dressing.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. When the water is boiling, add the soba noodles and cook until tender according to package directions.
• Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Put the noodles in a large bowl and toss with half the dressing, the basil, and the Parmesan to taste.
• Season tilapia on both sides with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle one side with the sesame seeds.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium-high.
• When it shimmers, add the tilapia, sesame-side down. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove fillets from the pan.
• In the same pan, heat the remaining sesame oil. Add the asparagus. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly charred and tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and season the asparagus with red pepper flakes.
• Divide the soba noodles among four bowls and top with the tilapia. Add the asparagus, avocado, cucumber, pinkled ginger, and tomatoes.
