Easy Pan Fried Tilapia Recipes

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, Cajun seasoning, basil, parsley, and lemon-pepper seasoning. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tilapia fillets and increase heat to medium-high.
• Cook tilapia until opaque and easily flaked with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Adjust temperature if it browns too quickly.

Steps:

• Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Dry tilapia fillets and cut each in half. Season each fillet with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dredge in flour to coat, shaking off excess.
• Melt butter and oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry fish quickly, working in batches if needed, until edges appear white, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until easily flaked with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour white wine into the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer until reduced by about half, 5 to 7 minutes. Drizzle sauce over fish before serving and garnish with capers.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a shallow baking dish combine flour, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the tilapia and lightly coat each side.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess seasoned flour and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place tilapia on a baking sheet that is lined with a paper grocery bag or paper towels and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce.
• Turn down the heat to the pan the tilapia was cooked to low and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic, lemon juice and parsley and saute for 2 minutes. Place the fillets on serving plates or a platter, top with the sauce and serve.

Steps:

• Thaw frozen fillets in the package, in a bowl of warm water or sink for approx 10 minute Meanwhile combine spices in a bowl. Dip thawed Tilapia in spices and pan fry in butter on medium for approx 5 min each side. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Warm up olive oil in a 10" or 12" skillet.
• Mix the corn meal and Old Bay seasoning thoroughly, then spread out on a platter.
• Coat tilapia fillets lightly, but thoroughly with corn meal and Old Bay mixture.
• Lay coated fillets in hot olive oil (medium-medium high heat) and cook until golden on the bottom, then turn fillets over and repeat.
• Do not overcook the fish--it's easy to do.
• While fillets are cooking, combine Miracle Whip, sweet relish, and lemon juice and stir until well blended, then serve with the fish.
• It's quick, easy, and doesn't require a lot of cleanup.
• Steamed carrots or broccoli and some form of potatoes go well with this.
