Pan Fried Tilapia

Fish is one of those foods that Philip nor I grew up eating unless it was in the form of a stick or patty and occasionally from Long John Silvers. Some people I know people that complain cooking fish makes their home stink. Others are afraid of cooking fish dishes for fear it is too delicate or complicated

A very simple tilapia dish I make on a regular basis is Pan Fried Tilapia. The first time I made it Philip was hesitant to try it because of the lemon butter sauce on the fish but once he did he loved it!

Pan-Fried Tilapia

4 tilapia fillets
3 Tablespoons of flour
4 Tablespoons of butter
3 Tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice
1 Tablespoon parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix flour, salt and pepper. Dust fillets with flour mixture. Sauté fish in oil until nicely browned and cooked through. When done, remove Tilapia, drain oil, add lemon juice, butter and parsley. Whisk to blend until heated. Pour over Tilapia and serve. Makes 4 servings.
