Sauteed Tilapia Fillets With Lime Recipes

SAUTEED TILAPIA FILLETS WITH LIME

Steps:

• Rinse the fish and pat dry.
• Put the flour on a plate and season it with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the fillets in the flour, patting to remove excess.
• In a small bowl, combine the garlic, wine, lime juice and butter, then set aside.
• Heat the oil in a 10 to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the fillets without overlapping (you may need to cook in 2 batches).
• Cook until golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Turn the fillets over and cook until opaque through the thickest part, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Transfer the fish to a platter and keep warm (cover with foil or place in a 200 degree oven).
• Add the wine mixture to pan and boil, scraping up cooked bits, until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the onions and heat on low about 30 seconds.
• Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

HONEY LIME TILAPIA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the honey, lime juice, and garlic. Season tilapia with salt and pepper, place in the bowl, and marinate 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
• Arrange the squash and asparagus in the baking dish. Place tilapia on top of vegetables, and season with poultry seasoning. Discard remaining marinade.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until vegetables are tender and fish is easily flaked. Sprinkle with mozzarella, and continue baking 5 minutes, or until cheese is lightly browned.

BAKED TILAPIA WITH GARLIC AND LIME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.
• Rinse fish and pat dry; place on the prepared baking sheet. Season each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon Silly Salt and pepper to taste. Divide the butter pieces lime zest, and juice evenly among the tops of the fillets. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA WITH CHILE LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Make chile lime butter:
• Stir together butter, shallot, zest, lime juice, chile, and salt in a bowl.
• Prepare fish:
• If using striped bass, score skin in 3 or 4 places with a thin sharp knife to prevent fish from curling (do not cut through flesh). Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just smoking, then sauté 3 pieces of fish, turning over once with a spatula, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a plate. Sauté remaining fish in remaining tablespoon oil in same manner.
• Serve each piece of fish with a dollop of chile lime butter.
