Back in business!

Hi all!

John remembered to bring the camera home from the new house, so I am now able to finally post another recipe.  A good day already. 

Let's have some fish.  If you are not a big fan of fish, this is a fish you might try, no fishy overpowering taste, very light and very easy to cook.  Here we go.


Tilapia Fish Dinner

Here is what you will need:

Set up what I will call a breading station:

Place the fish in the beaten egg mixture first, then into the bread crumb mixture:

Place a small amount of oil in frying pan, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan well; heat oil until a small drop of water sizzles when dropped into pan.  Add breaded fish pieces to pan:

Fry over medium high heat until lightly browned, turn carefully, turning fish away from you as you turn the pieces of fish to cook on the other side:

I hope you will try this fish, it is so good, even kids like it:  :)

Tilapia Fish Dinner

Ingredients:

Tilapia fish, 1-2 filets per person
1/-1 cup Panko bread crumbs, depending upon the amount of fish to be breaded
Salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs, whipped with fork
1/4 tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder
Canola oil for frying, or your preferred oil

Recipe:

Rinse fish filets in water, pat light dry with paper toweling.  Usually tilapia is deboned but just make sure there are no bones remaining to be on the safe side. 

Set up breading station.  Break open eggs, place in bowl, whip with fork to break up. 

In a second bowl place Panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Taking one piece of fish at a time, dip fish in egg, let excess run off.  Then place fish in bread crumb mixture; coating fish well.

Place oil in frying pan, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan, it will rise up to the side of the fish as you place fish in the pan.  These filets are usually not too thick so go easy on the oil to avoid an oily taste.  Heat oil until a small drop of water or breading sizzles when it hits the oil.

Place fish in pan when oil is heated.  Do not overcrowd the pan, so turning is easy and all cooks fairly evenly in the same amount of time. 

Let fish brown lightly on first side, this will take under 5 minutes.  Turn carefully.  Use spatula to turn fish, turning away from you to avoid any oil splattering on you.  Allow to cook until second side is equally as browned.  Check for doneness by using a fork, the fish should flake easily with a fork. 

Note: This recipe is also good on other types of fish such as cod, catfish, basically any whitefish etc..

Serve & Enjoy!
