Tips:
- Choose fresh tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have an off odor.
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry before cooking: This will help to prevent the fish from steaming instead of searing.
- Season the tilapia fillets liberally with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the tilapia fillets over medium-high heat: This will help to create a golden brown crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the tilapia fillets: This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
- Use a spatula to gently flip the tilapia fillets once during cooking: This will prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the tilapia fillets until they are opaque throughout: This will ensure that the fish is cooked through.
- Serve the tilapia fillets immediately with your favorite sides: Some popular sides include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
