Tilapia Honduras Style image

I developed this recipe from ideas I found on a website about Honduras. It takes the "bland" out of tilapia, which is nice for a change.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

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

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together all dry spices.
  • Sprinkle seasonings evenly over both sides of tilapia fillets (this can be done hours before you are ready to cook the fillets).
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic and onions until just tender.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs well.
  • In another shallow bowl, season the flour (or bread crumbs) to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Working with only a few pieces at a time, dip seasoned fillets in flour, then in beaten eggs, then again in flour.
  • Sauté the fillets in the seasoned oil for 2 minutes on each side, adding more oil if needed.
  • Remove to a plate to keep warm and repeat the process until all fillets are cooked.
  • Serve immediately.
