1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Place fillets on a large plate then rub the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried basil and olive oil all over them.

Yield makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup dry Italian-flavored bread crumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (about 1 ounce)
3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 (8-ounce) tilapia fillets
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup Israeli couscous

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons bottled capers, drained
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons lemon juice

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA

Provided by Daisy Martinez

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 2 cups)
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Minced fresh chile of choice, see Cook's Note*
Canola oil, for frying
6 fillets of tilapia (about 6 ounces each)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flour, for dusting

Steps:

  • To make the salsa: Stir the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro together in a small bowl. Stir in the lime juice, olive oil and chile. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the fish.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Pour enough canola oil into a large frying pan to generously coat the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  • While the oil is heating, season as many of the fillets as will fit in the pan comfortably with salt and pepper. Dredge the seasoned fillets in flour to coat both sides and shake off the excess flour. Carefully slip the coated snapper into the hot oil and give the pan a little shake to prevent sticking. Cook until lightly golden on the underside side, about 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and cook until the thickest part of the fillets are opaque at the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining fillets, adding more oil to the pan, if necessary.
  • Serve warm, passing the tomato salsa separately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the tilapia. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • Sear the tilapia over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the tilapia. The fish is done when it is opaque all the way through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make sure the artichoke hearts are tender before adding them to the sauce. You can do this by boiling them for 5-7 minutes, or by microwaving them for 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. This will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Serve the tilapia with the sauce over Israeli couscous. The couscous will soak up the delicious sauce and make a great side dish.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared tilapia with artichoke-caper and cherry tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is cooked to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. The Israeli couscous is a great side dish that soaks up the sauce and adds a bit of texture to the dish. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
