Fried Tilapia
Ingredients
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
Cooking Procedures:
In a shallow plate 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 from tilapia and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. 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.
