Tilapia Recipe
Southern Fried Tilapia
This tilapia recipe will be a favourite with the whole family. I like to serve it with fries and coleslaw. It would be a hit at a kids party or an adult buffet - it is even good served cold.
Southern Fried Tilapia Recipe
4 tilapia fish fillets
minced onion
minced garlic
1 egg - beaten
2 tbspns flour
cinnamon
nutmeg
paprika
chilli powder
cumin powder
dried sage
dried chives
oil for frying
Rinse and pat dry the tilapia fillets, then rub with minced onion and garlic.
Take the flour and add about 1/4 tspn of each of the herbs and spices. Put this onto a plate.
Dip the tilapia fish in the egg and then into the spiced flour mixture, making sure it is thoroughly coated.
Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok and add the tilapia fish - fry for about 2 minutes, then turn and fry for a further 2 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
Serve immediately with fries and coleslaw.
If you were to serve this tilapia recipe at a buffet, then I would suggest that you cut the fillets into strips (goujons) before flouring and frying - adjust the timing to be about 1 minute either side.
If you want to use this coating for chicken, then the secret to getting the lovely juicy result is to pressure cook the pieces of chicken for about 6 minutes - then shallow fry for 3 to 4 minutes or deep fry for 2 minutes.
