Fried Tilapia Recipe

This simply seasoned and cooked fish will go well with any of your favorite side dishes. Here I’m serving it with creamy mashed potatoes and green beans.

Ingredients
▢ 3 6-ounce tilapia fillets thawed if frozen
▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil
▢ ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢ ½ teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt
▢ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
Using paper towels, pat the fish completely dry, this will help with browning.
Drizzle the tilapia with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and seasoning with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper on both sides. Use a brush or your hands to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Heat a non stick pan over medium high heat, heat oil – when it’s hot, and add the tilapia fillets. Work in batches if needed.
Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Use a fish spatula to carefully remove from pan as it’s a flaky fish and can easily break. Cover with foil to keep warm until you’re ready to serve.
