Steps:
- Dredge the tilapia filets in the flour, and add them with the melted margarine and garlic to a medium temperature sauté pan. Once the tilapia has finished cooking on one side, flip them over and add the jalapenos, spinach, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Prepare the angel hair pasta in boiling water, and allow it to cook for 3 to 4 minutes depending on the temperature of the water. As the filets begin to flake, add the heavy cream, and bring it to a slight boil. Once the cream begins to boil, remove the pan from the fire and reduce the lemon butter into the sauce. Place the pasta in a bowl, and pour the fish with the sauce over the pasta. Garnish with fresh Roma tomatoes and parsley.

JALAPEñO GARLIC TILAPIA PANINI
This is my own personal copycat recipe mimicking Johnny Carino's sandwich. Their menu description is "Fried fillet of tilapia with a garlic-jalapeño cream sauce, provolone cheese and sliced roma tomatoes." I think that I have accomplished this by using ideas from CoffeeMom's Super Easy Ritz Cracker Breading (recipe #98000) and ketchup's Garlic Cream Sauce (recipe #85676). (Thanks, guys!) We love this sandwich.

Tips:
- For crispier tilapia, make sure the fillets are dry before dredging them in the flour mixture.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or griddle for cooking the tilapia to ensure even heating.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the tilapia, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the tilapia until it is golden brown and flaky, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.

This recipe for Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia by Johnny Carino's is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
