BAKED TILAPIA WITH FISH SCALE POTATOES
I learned this technique at Cordon Bleu, many years ago. It has wonderful presentation, and tastes excellent. It would be brilliant to serve at a nice holiday dinner party, and to be truthful, any type of fish filet will do quite nicely. The original technique for this recipe was a bit difficult to master, so I simplified it...

- 5. Use a small round cutter to make 3/4 inch (2 cm) disks.
- 6. Add the butter to a small skillet, over medium heat.
- 7. When the foaming subsides, add the potato rounds.
- 8. Chef's Note: Cook until the rounds begin to soften, but before they begin to brown, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- 9. Remove the rounds from the skillet, and lightly dust one side with flour.
- 10. Chef's Note: Reserve the leftover butter in the skillet.
- 11. Lightly score the filet, at 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) intervals.

- 13. Place the filet on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 14. Brush the filet with the egg wash, and then season with salt and pepper.
- 15. Arrange the potato rounds (flour side down) on top of the filet, overlapping them to resemble the scales on a fish.
- 16. Use the remainder of the butter from the skillet, to lightly brush over the tops of the potato rounds, and then season with a bit more salt & pepper.
- 17. Place into the oven, and bake until the fish is cooked and flakey, about 20 minutes.
- 18. Finish by placing under the broiler until the potato rounds begin to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right tilapia. Fresh tilapia is the best choice, and it should be firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid tilapia that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Season the tilapia well. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well before baking. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, or try a more flavorful seasoning blend, such as Cajun seasoning or lemon pepper.
- Cook the tilapia until it is flaky. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Bake the fish at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until it is flaky and cooked through.
- Serve the tilapia with a variety of sides. Tilapia is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, vegetables, or salad. You can also top the tilapia with a flavorful sauce, such as a lemon butter sauce or a salsa verde.
- Use a combination of herbs and spices to season the fish scale potatoes. This will give them a delicious flavor that complements the tilapia.
- Bake the fish scale potatoes until they are crispy. This will give them a nice texture and make them a great side dish for the tilapia.
Conclusion:
Baked tilapia with fish scale potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is flaky and flavorful, and the fish scale potatoes are crispy and addictive. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
