These days I really miss the East Coast with its abundance seafood and delicious food. So the other day was fortunate enough to see Old Bay spice in the spice section (took me 10 minutes to find it though). But used this recipe that turned out really great: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/4-minute-fish-crispy-lemon-tilapia/
They say it was only 4 minutes, took me more like 10 minutes though. But they tasted great!
- 1 pound Tilapia Fillets, Skinless
- ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt (I used sea salt)
- ⅛ teaspoons Black Pepper
- 3 Tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour (I only had regular salt)
- 1 Tablespoon "Old Bay" Or Similar Seasoning (I was ready to make my own: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/homemade-old-bay-seasoning-recipe-52622321)
- 1 whole Lemon, Zest And Juice Only, Divided
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¼ Tablespoons Butter (just A Tiny Sliver, Basically!)
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley, Minced (I thought this was essential)
Lightly season both sides of the tilapia fillets with kosher salt and pepper to taste.
On a separate plate, mix the flour, seasoning and lemon zest.
Lightly dredge each tilapia fillet in the flour mixture, coating each side and pressing coating onto flesh so that it sticks.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Place the coated fish in the skillet and let it cook, untouched, for 2 minutes. Flip the fish and cook for 2 more minutes on the other side, leaving it untouched in the pan during this time.
Remove fish to a platter. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Serve immediately.
Here's the results for us :)
