Recently, my parents came to visit.  I prepared dinner for them upon their arrival. Deciding what to prepare was simple.  My mother loves fried tilapia and she cannot find kosher fresh tilapia in her hometown.  It is one of dishes that my mother looks forward to when she comes to visit.  For me, it is one of those simple dinners that takes almost no time to prepare and is always well-received.

 

INGREDIENTS

4-6 Tilapia Fillets

Oil

flour

1-2 eggs, mixed well

your favorite seasoned bread crumbs

 

DIRECTIONS

Prepare three breading plates: one with flour, one with egg and one with bread crumbs.  I usually use Pyrex pie plates for this task.

 

Place each tilapia fillet in flour, then egg and then generously coat with bread crumbs.

Heat 1 inch of oil in a large nonstick pan until barely sizzling. Carefully add fish to hot oil, being careful not to crowd the pan.  Cook over medium to medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Using a spatula or tongs, carefully flip the  fish over and continue to cook about 3 more minutes.  Gently place on paper towels until cool.

Enjoy!

NOTES

 

Substitute any thin white fish fillet for tilapia
