It takes the bland out of tilapia, which is nice for a change.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 lbs tilapia fillets
2 eggs
1 cup flour (or bread crumbs)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together all dry spices.
2. Sprinkle seasonings evenly over both sides of tilapia fillets (this can be done hours before you are ready to cook the fillets).
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic and onions until just tender.
4. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs well.
5. In another shallow bowl, season the flour (or bread crumbs) to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Working with only a few pieces at a time, dip seasoned fillets in flour, then in beaten eggs, then again in flour.
7. Sauté the fillets in the seasoned oil for 2 minutes on each side, adding more oil if needed.
8. Remove to a plate to keep warm and repeat the process until all fillets are cooked.
9. Serve immediately.
