Steps:
- Wash the tilapia fillets. Soak the tilapia fillets in cold water with a splash of vinegar, wine or beer for 15 minutes. Pat dry and season with Old Bay. Coat the tilapia in olive oil. 2 Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a small shallow bowl. 3 Place cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add about 2 tbsps of olive oil, 1 tbsp of butter, and 1/8 tsp of curry powder. Heat until butter is melted and oil is hot. Make sure the mixture coats the bottom of the skillet. 4 Set oven to broil. Dip the oiled and seasoned tilapia in the bread crumb mixture. Place in heated skillet. Allow tilapia to cook for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Use spatula or tongs to turn and allow to brown on the other side. 5 Place the skillet in the oven and broil for about 5 minutes. Watch the tilapia carefully as some ovens broil faster or slower than others.
PAN SEARED TILAPIA
This Pan Seared Tilapia is a great way to cook tilapia fillets to taste really good! Trust me, you will want to double this recipe. I tested the recipe using 1 pound of fillets but my family of 2 adults and 3 kids finished 2 pounds at one go! The fish is out-of-this-world good!

Steps:
- Place fillets on a large plate then rub the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried basil and olive oil all over them.
- In a skillet (preferably cast iron) heat 1 tablespoon of oil on high heat for about 3 minutes. Turn down the heat to medium then add two fillets to the pan. Let them cook on one side for about 4 minutes then flip to the other side and let them cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Repeat the process with the remaining fillets and oil.
- Serve warm with some lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish as needed. I love to serve this fish with my Mango Avocado Salsa on the side! You could also break it up and use in tacos or serve with any side dish you like. Enjoy, friends!

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA
Steps:
- Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.
