TammyinTN Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have a bag of frozen tilapia filets. Need a good recipe, please. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 We like this one: 1.5 lbs tilapia filets 1/2 tsp chopped garlic (1 clove) 1.2 dry white wine (if you have an aversion to wine, you can sub. chicken broth or white grape juice) 1 Tbs lime juice (about 1/4 lime) 1 Tbs olive oil 1/2 C flour salt and pepper to taste 1 tsp butter 2 scallions, chopped Rinse fish and pat dry. Combine garlic, wine, lime juice--set aside In a large non-stick skillet (which I don't have, so I use a regular skillet and a bit more oil), heat oil over medium-high heat. Season flour with salt and pepper and dredge fish. Add to skillet and cook about 3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. In the same skillet (the one that had the fish), melt butter over low heat and add the wine mixture. Cook at a low boil until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes. Stir in scallions and heat for about 30 seconds. Serve fish with sauce spooned over. This came from the Six O'Clock Scramble cookbook, btw.

HollyDay Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 This is what I do: I put the defrosted filets in a pan with some butter or olive oil and fry until done. Then I remove the filets and pan fry some almonds until toasty. You can spice them however you wish. SOmetimes I use hot sauce only. Other times I use some lemon juice and parsley. Whatever sounds good. Serve with a green veggie or salad and a starch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

percytruffle Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 We eat a lot of tilapia. My family's favorite way is Cajun. I thaw the fish then dust it with corn starch. Then I sprinkle Cajun seasoning (I use Tones for this) on both sides of the fish and sauté it in a little extra virgin olive oil. It is a bit crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Another way we eat it is sautéed in a little butter, lemon juice, sea salt, and paprika. I just cover the pan and cook it on low-medium until the fish is done. The liquids in the pan steam it. I don't even turn the fillets. I have done the same thing in the oven, placing all the same ingredients in a glass baking dish, covering it with foil, and baking it for about 30 min at 350.

Mom2legomaniacs Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I do a lemon and artichoke chicken that I made with tilapia once. It turned out really good. Place fish in sprayed baking dish. (for chicken, I use about 5 bre*sts) Mix: 2 c. canned artichokes 3/4 c. Parmesan cheese 1/2 c. Mayo. 2 TBSP white cooking wine 1/2 tsp garlic 1/4 c. lemon juice Mix and spoon over chicken (fish). Top with 1/4 c. bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzanne in ABQ Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 My five-minute, wonderful Tilapia "recipe". It might take 7 minutes (I've never timed it). And it's not really a recipe, it's just fish, oil, and seasoning. Tilapia Heat a little oil in a large skillet (one that has a lid). Place frozen filets in pan. Sprinkle with lemon pepper (we like Lawry's brand) Cover Cook over low heat Turn over when thawed (after about 3 minutes) Continue cooking over low heat until filets turn white and flaky. Eat. This is my dc's favorite dinner. I usually serve it with rice and some veggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
