Breaded Pan Fried Tilapia Recipes

KELLY'S PAN FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Put bread crumbs into a shallow dish.
• Gently press tilapia fillets into bread crumbs to coat. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded tilapia onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• 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.
• Top each fillet with salsa; cook in microwave to get the salsa hot, about 15 seconds.

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.

PAN FRIED TILAPIA

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.

CRISPY BREADED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Combine panko, parsley, and salt on a dinner plate. Mix egg and milk together in a bowl.
• Dip fillets into the milk mixture and shake off excess. Lightly dredge in panko mixture.
• Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fillets and cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until fillets are no longer translucent in the center and they easily flake with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.

GATORBEK'S BREADED AND FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Over medium-high heat, heat oil and butter in a large, heavy skillet.
• Dip fish in egg mixture, then dredge through bread crumbs.
• Place in hot oil and fry until done, 2-3 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily.
• Serve immediately.

BREADED PAN-FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• If using breadcrumbs, proceed to Step 4. If using panko crumbs, put them in a food processor with the seasonings-salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, pepper, and parsley flakes; process until the crumbs are quite fine.
• In a small bowl, combine the mustard and mayonnaise. Generously coat tilapia fillets with the mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs.
• Fry the coated tilapia fillets in the hot oil in a single layer, turning carefully after about 3 to 4 minutes. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes longer, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
