TASTY SAUTED TILAPIA



Tasty Sauted Tilapia image

A couple of years ago my husband and I were in Sam's Club and a vendor was cooking tilapia for the customers to sample. That was the best tilapia I had ever had so he told me how he cooked them and I've been doing it this way ever since.

Provided by Bea L. @BeachChic

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 6

- tilapia fillets
- salt
- black pepper
- paprika
- garlic powder
- olive oil, (i use extra virgin)

Steps:

  • Cover bottom of skillet with oil. I like using extra virgin olive oil aka/EVOO with this dish but any oil should work. I just feel it's a little healthier. Sometimes I add a pat of butter to the oil as well. This gives it a nice flavor. Heat it up before putting in the fish.
  • Wash fillets and pat dry with a paper towel. This will help the seasonings to stick to the fillets better.
  • Place fillets into the hot oil. Sprinkle on the seasonings and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes. (This depends on the size and thickness of the fillets). Flip each fillet and sprinkle the other side with the seasonings and cook approximately 5 additional minutes. Flip once more and cook approximately one minute or less and plate them up.
  • I like spooning the extra seasoned EVOO sauce over my fillets. This is so yummy to dip your bread in. You can certainly use your favorite seasonings instead of the ones I use.

LIGHT & TASTY TILAPIA SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Fish     Healthy     Simmer

Yield 2 large bowls

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large garlic clove (minced)
1 large yellow onion (1/2 chopped, 1/4 slivered)
1 large carrot (chopped)
1 large celery stalk (chopped)
1 cup mini portabellos (sliced)
1.5 tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1/2 tsp coarse ground sea salt
1 tbsp white flour
1 32 oz. carton chicken broth
1 bottle Budweiser, room temperature (will use half bottle)
2 4 oz. tilapia filets (frozen, unseasoned); 8 oz of other mild white fish, such as halibut, may be substituted if tilapia is not available.

Steps:

  • If tilapia is frozen, place in bowl of lukewarm water and set aside to thaw. Pour oil into saucepan (3+ quart capacity) over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and let simmer. Before garlic starts to brown, add chopped onion. Mix garlic and onion. Spread mixture evenly, covering whole surface of saucepan. Let simmer for 2 min., stirring to prevent carmelizing. Add carrots and celery, and sprinkle pepper over vegetables. Mix thoroughly. Spread vegetables evenly over surface and let cook for 2 min., stirring occasionally. Sprinkle flour evenly over onion/carrot/celery mixture. Mix well, and keep stirring continuously for 2 min. Slowly pour 1/2 bottle of Budweiser while whisking into vegetables. Slowly pour in chicken stock while continuing to whisk. Add sea salt and whisk again. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking occasionally. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Add 1/4 slivered onion and sliced portabellos. Cut raw tilapia into bite-sized pieces. Carefully drop tilapia into soup and stir occasionally. Once soup begins to boil again, turn heat to low. Let simmer for 45 min. Ladle into two soup bowls and enjoy!
