CRISPY HONEY LIME TILAPIA image

Categories     Fish

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 fresh (or thawed) tilapia filets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup flour [I used whole wheat pastry]
2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
additional honey + lime zest mixed for drizzling

Steps:

  • 60 minutes before cooking,season tilapia filets with salt and pepper then lay in a baking dish or into a large ziplock bag. In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, lime juice and zest, and crushed garlic and whisk until combined. Pour over tilapia and let marinate for an hour. Add flour [+ a bit more salt, pepper, and lime zest] to a bowl and set aside. Heat a cast iron skillet (or a non-stick skillet) over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Dredge each piece of tilapia through the flour until you have a very light coating. Making sure the pan is hot, add tilapia to the oil and cook until flaky and crispy on each side - about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove tilapia from pan and let drain on a paper towel for a few minutes. Serve with an additional drizzle of lime + honey.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tilapia didn't come out crispy. It was still tasty, but I was hoping for a crispier texture.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I substituted the honey with maple syrup and it turned out great! The tilapia was still crispy and the sauce was just as delicious.
