Categories     Weeknight

Time 12m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 -5 tilapia fillets (fresh or frozen thawed)
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped fresh parsley leaves

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tilapia fillets are crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish. Additionally, do not overcrowd the pan as this will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • For a flavorful sandwich, use a variety of toppings. Some popular choices include tartar sauce, coleslaw, and French fries. You can also get creative and add your own favorite toppings, such as avocado, sliced tomatoes, or a spicy mayonnaise.
  • If you don't have a sandwich bun, you can use other bread products such as hamburger buns, hot dog buns, or even slices of bread. You can also enjoy the fried tilapia on its own without any bread.
  • To make a healthier version of the sandwich, you can bake the tilapia instead of frying it. You can also use whole-wheat bread or lettuce wraps instead of white bread.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried tilapia sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a crispy tilapia fillet, flavorful toppings, and a soft bun, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit with everyone.
