Pan Fried Tilapia With Sesame Crust 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.

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, Cajun seasoning, basil, parsley, and lemon-pepper seasoning. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tilapia fillets and increase heat to medium-high.
• Cook tilapia until opaque and easily flaked with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Adjust temperature if it browns too quickly.

PANKO-CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Put flour and eggs into 2 separate dishes. Combine bread crumbs, cilantro, lime zest, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a third dish.
• Season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Put 1 fillet in flour, coat both sides, and gently shake off excess. Dip into eggs, turning once, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Repeat with remaining fillets.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place fillets in the skillet and cook until crust is golden and fish is easy to lift with a spatula, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until fish flakes easily with a fork, another 3 to 4 minutes.

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.
