Tilapia With Sweet Onion Ale Sauce Recipes

TILAPIA WITH SWEET ONION ALE SAUCE

Steps:

• Season tilapia fillets on both sides with paprika, cumin, garlic salt, and pepper, then dust with 2 tbsp of the flour. Set aside in fridge.
• In a large nonstick skillet heat butter and olive oil until medium hot. Be careful not to burn the butter!
• Add tilapia to pan and brown on first side, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn and cook on second side until browned. Remove from pan and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Add onions to pan and cook over medium heat until soft and slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Dust onions in pan with 1 tbsp of the four. Stir and cook 1 minute.
• Add to onions the lemon juice, beer, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
• Stir in lemon zest and return fish and any juices to pan to heat through.

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.
