Re: Share your fave Tilapia recipe

I have never made fish in my life but was planning on starting off with this Tilapia recipe from Rachael Ray....

•1 stick butter, divided
•1/4 to 1/3 cup thin spaghetti, broken into small pieces about 1 inch long
•1 cup rice
•2 cups chicken stock
•1/2 cup sliced almonds
•4 tilapia filets or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4-inch thick
•Salt and pepper
•Old Bay seasoning, for fish or poultry seasoning, for chicken
•Flour, for dusting fish or chicken
•2 eggs, beaten
•1 cup breadcrumbs
•2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•Zest and juice of 1 lemon
PreparationMelt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a medium size pot. Toast the spaghetti bits until golden. Add the rice and stir, then add the stock and bring to a boil. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 16-18 minutes, until tender. Fluff with a fork.

While the rice is cooking, toast the almonds in small pan over medium heat and grind into crumbs in a food processor.

Pat the fish dry and season with a little salt and Old Bay or season the chicken with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.

In shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs mixed ground nuts, thyme and lemon zest. Dredge the fish or chicken in the flour, then coat in the eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture.

In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil, a turn of the pan, over medium to medium-high heat. Add the remaining butter and melt into the oil. Add the breaded fish or chicken and cook until brown and crisp, 3 minutes on each side for fish, 4 minutes on each side for chicken. Douse with lemon juice. Serve with the rice pilaf, with some asparagus or green beans alongside.

I've used Tilapia for fish tacos and it was yummy

I just seasonsed it with chili powder, salt and pepper and cooked in a pan on the stove.

For the tacos, I added fresh cilantro, fresh guac, salsa, and refried beans.

Yummy.

This fish has almost no flavor on its own, so you can really do a lot with it! it just takes the flavor of whatever you put on it.

I have also baked it in little foil packets with white whine, onions, garlic, and a piece of lemon. There are a million variations on this too.

i brush it with a little lite olive oil, add lemon, garlic powder, old bay seasoning, and a little bread crumbs to top, fresh parsley chopped and put it on a cookie sheet on foil. i cover it with foil and broil it for about 10 mins. the last 5 mins i take the foil off, and get the bread crumbs to toast.
