Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder, a couple of palmfuls
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2/3 palmful
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2/3 palmful
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped thyme leaves or 2 teaspoons dried
  • 1/4 cup vegetable, canola or safflower oil

Directions

Season the fish with salt and pepper. Arrange 3 shallow dishes. Put the flour in 1 dish and add the eggs to the second dish. Combine the bread crumbs in the third dish and season with 1 tablespoon of lime zest, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, the garlic powder, onion powder and thyme. Coat the fish in the flour, then the egg and then the bread crumbs.

Heat the oil, about 1/4 cup, in large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. If your pan is not large enough to fry 4 fillets, in a single layer, heat the oven to 275 degrees F and put a cooling rack on a baking sheet. As you fry the fish, transfer them to the rack in the oven to keep warm. Fry the fish until deeply golden and crispy and transfer to a serving platter. Season with a little extra salt, top with lots of lime juice and serve.

    Tasty but I doctored up the breadcrumbs with extra onion and garlic powder. I used panko breadcrumbs which worked well. The lime on the fish is great.

    Was looking for a new twist on fried fish and was really excited to try this out. Being from South FL I used fresh mangrove snapper. While I have to say this made a good fried fish, it wasn't anything special. I used extra chili powder, the zest of four limes and panko breadcrumbs. In the end we juiced lots of lime over the fish and I had to whip up a quick batch of spicy tarter sauce to make this taste like something other than the average fried fish meal.
