Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt--I used 1/4 teas. and salted it again at the table so as not
• to get it too salty
• 1/2 teaspoon 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 (I used 1 1/4 tablespoons lemon juice)
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley leaves

Preparation

Step 1

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 of 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 and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce.

I just put it on our plates because it took so little time to 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.

Dick and I both loved this recipe and it was delicious. Served with a tabouli salad. EASY MEAL!!!
