Pan Seared Tilapia

By [e-mail]

Ingredients

• 2 (4 Oz) Tilapia
• 1/4 Cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1 1/2 tsp Olive oil
• 1 Tbsp melted, unsalted butter
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.

Place the Panko bread crumbs in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess bread crumbs.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.

Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet.
Serve immediately.
