Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
Directions
Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a shallow baking dish combine flour, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the tilapia and lightly coat each side.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess seasoned flour and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place tilapia on a baking sheet that is lined with a paper grocery bag or paper towels and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce.
Turn down the heat to the pan the tilapia was cooked to low and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic, lemon juice and parsley and saute for 2 minutes. Place the fillets on serving plates or a platter, top with the sauce and serve.

Delicious!! The hubby and I LOVE Tilapia and we're always looking for new ways of cooking it. This is definitely at the top of the list.

This fish was GOOD!! I used Old Bay seasonings. I had to adjust the heat when frying, med-hi was too high and the 2nd batch was darker but still tasty mmm!
Very very easy.
