I got some requests on how I cooked my Tilapia, since I noted it at this post on sale at Harris Teeter.
Below is my FAVORITE Tilapia recipe, super easy and it is soo good!
:: Go here to see the full meal, w/ seasoned grits on the Publix website.
Pecan Crusted Tilapia
Ingredients
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup reduced-fat milk
1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
1 1/2 pounds tilapia fillets
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 cup canola oilSteps
1. Chop pecans finely (like coarse bread crumbs); combine with bread crumbs in medium bowl. Place flour in second medium bowl. Blend milk and egg together in third medium bowl.
TIP : I just take leftover whole wheat bread crust in the food processor. I also add hot sauce to the egg mixture for a little more taste!
2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle both sides of fish with seasoned salt.
3. Dip fillets in flour (coating both sides) then dip into egg mixture (allowing excess to drip off). Finally, dip into pecan mixture. Wash hands.
4. Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add fish and cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden. Serve.

Just made the tilapia-awesome! I tried the seasoned cheese grits, too, they were a nice side. Thanks!
can this be baked instead of cooking in oil?
Definitely. I just like the oil/butter combo…
I just tried this and it was a hit with my kids, ages 2 and 5, and my husband too!
