Tilapia Recipe | Pecan Crusted Tilapia

on October 1, 2008 · 8 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

People often ask me how I prepare tilapia, especially when they find out that I’m pretty picky when it comes to fish. I don’t like my fish to taste “fishy”–and if you don’t like your fish that way either, then you know exactly what I mean. But you can prepare fish and really enjoy its flavor and how it interacts with other ingredients. Fish is such a healthy protein, but it is challenging when it comes to preparation. Hopefully you’ll find, like I did, the below recipe for tilapia to be both great-tasting and easy to create.

Ingredients
  • ½ cup pecan pieces
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ cup reduced-fat milk
  • 1 egg (or ¼ cup egg substitute)
  • 1½ pounds tilapia fillets
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ¼ cup canola oil
Instructions
  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.

    can this be baked instead of cooking in oil?

      Definitely. I just like the oil/butter combo… 🙂

    Thanks for the recipe! I’m going to try it tomorrow night. We love fish, but if you’re picky on fish, I recommend Swai. It’s very mild, not fishy, and can be substituted in any Tilapia recipe. And as a bonus, it’s less expensive!
