Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs about 6-10 count Tilapia fillets, thawed
Olive Oil to saute
1 Tbsp ketchup (several readers had great results with sriracha instead of ketchup)
1 Tbsp mayo
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp Salt and 1/8 tsp Pepper
2 medium bell peppers ((red, orange or yellow))
2 medium/large carrots (julienned or grated)
1 medium onion

Steps:

  • Whisk together marinade ingredients. Combine with tilapia in a large ziploc bag or bowl and marinate in the fridge 1 1/2 hours.
  • Slice onions into thin half circles, slice bell pepper into thin strips and julienne or grate carrots. In a large skillet over medium/high, heat 2-3 Tbsp oil and saute onions for 3 min or until softened. Add sliced bell peppers and carrots and saute another 4-5 min or until softened. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Once fish is done marinating, drain and discard marinade. In the same empty skillet over medium/high, add 2-3 Tbsp oil and saute fish lightly on the skillet just until golden on the outside (about 2 min per side) - it's ok if it's not fully cooked through at this point.
  • Layer the casserole dish with 1/2 of the vegetables on the bottom, then Place fish over the vegetables. Stir together 1 Tbsp ketchup and 1 Tbsp mayo and brush this mixture evenly over the top of the fish. Cover fish with remaining veggies. Sprinkle the top with salt and pepper to taste then cover tightly with foil or lid and bake at 375˚F for 15 min.

TILAPIA CASSEROLE



Tilapia Casserole image

Only four ingredients, easy and oh so good! The orginal recipe calls for frozen flounder, but I've found that the Tilapia works better in this recipe. I've updated to change the cooking time from 30 minutes to 45 minutes after reading the reviews.

Categories     Tilapia

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1 lb) bag frozen tilapia fillet
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of shrimp soup (undiluted)
40 Ritz crackers, crushed
1/2 cup margarine

Steps:

  • Layer frozen fish fillets in greased casserole dish (9x9), overlapping if needed.
  • Spread cream of shrimp soup over fish.
  • (Do not add water).
  • Melt margarine and mix with crushed crackers.
  • Sprinkle cracker mixture over casserole.
  • Bake uncovered at 350° for about 45 minutes.
  • Note: Sometimes I sprinkle old bay seasoning on the cream of shrimp soup before adding the crackers.
  • Also I add a dash or two of hot sauce to the melted butter before adding to the cracker crumbs.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tilapia fillets cook evenly, make sure they are all of similar thickness. If they are not, the thicker fillets will take longer to cook and may end up overcooked while the thinner fillets are done.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish. If there is not enough room for the fillets to lay flat, they will not cook properly.
  • If you are using frozen tilapia fillets, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly.
  • If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can substitute another citrus fruit, such as an orange or grapefruit.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as diced onions, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • If you like a crispy topping, sprinkle some bread crumbs or Parmesan cheese over the top of the casserole before baking.

Conclusion:

This tilapia all-in-one casserole is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is perfect for busy families. It is also a healthy and delicious way to enjoy tilapia. The fish is cooked to perfection and is flaky and flavorful. The vegetables are tender and the sauce is rich and creamy. Serve this casserole with a side of rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
