Sesame Talapia 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.

TILAPIA MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Soak the fish in a bowl with the milk and 2 cups ice, 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the flour with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs in another dish. Pulse the bread, parsley, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until crumbs form, then transfer to a third dish. One at a time, remove the fillets from the milk and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumbs, gently pressing to coat both sides. Transfer to a large plate. Line a baking sheet with foil. Heat 2 tablespoons each olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 fillets and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 fillets, adding 2 more tablespoons each olive oil and butter. Transfer the fish to the oven and bake until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Toss the arugula with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the fish with the salad and lemon wedges.

TILAPIA AND GINGER-SESAME ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• Place the vegetables in the baking dish and toss with the oil-spice sauce.
• Bake for 25 minutes, stirring once.
• Remove from oven and push the vegetables to one side of the cooking dish. Place first fillet in dish and cover with the vegetables. Push vegetables aside to place other fillet in dish and cover it with the remaining vegetables.
