TILAPIA with Lemon Cream Sauce and Baby Red Pan fried potatoes
Have you ever tried Tilapia? Well, tonight was a first for us. For some reason I have looked at it, picked it up, but always put it back. Not anymore! It is delicious. I don't care for fish that tastes like FISH. This white fish is flaky with a very nice texture, and is not one bit Fishy! It reminds me a lot of Halibut, but the price tag is certainly less. I dredged ours in flour, egg and then Panko bread crumbs, and served it with a Lemon Cream Sauce. We actually used much more of the sauce over the fish, but I wanted you to be able to see how golden and crispy the fish is! Make a nice tossed green salad, and some crusty french bread and you have a meal fit for a king or Queen. Pick up some Tilapia today! INGREDIENTS: 2 Tbsp flour 1 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning 1 cup Panko bread Crumbs 1 egg 4 tilapia or other white fish fillets 4 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil for frying DIRECTIONS: On plate, mix flour and seasoning. On second plate, place bread crumbs. In bowl, beat egg with a fork. Coat fish with flour mixture. Dip into egg then coat well with bread crumbs. In a large skillet, heat oil. Add fish fillets, and cook about 3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip to other side for about 3 minutes more. Fish should flake easily with a fork. Don't overcook! LEMON CREAM SAUCE 3 Tablespoons butter 2 Tablespoons flour 1 1/2 cups milk 1/4 tsp. onion powder 1/4 tsp. sugar Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 lemon - squeeze into sauce when done, and stir.
