Cajun-Creole Tilapia

January 8, 2010

This recipe is quick, easy and full of flavor. I have several friends that do not eat fish and once they tried this dish, they were hooked. Tilapia is a wonderful fish to use since it is a very mild and flaky white fish.  This recipe is not only delicious, but healthy as well. Goes great with rice pilaf and buttered spinach. Prep time 2 minutes. Cook time 10 minutes.

Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning

1 pound Tilapia filets

1 lemon

3 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp Tony Chacheres Creole Seasoning

If you choose to broil the fish, set oven to 500, or you can opt to pan fry. Coat tilapia with drizzled olive oil on both sides. Now season both sides with the creole seasoning. If you choose to broil, place in a metal pan lined with foil (makes easier clean-up). Cook for about 10 minutes or until seasoning darkens and fish becomes flaky. If  you opt to pay fry, set range to med-hi heat and lightly coat pan with a little extra olive oil.  Sear for 5 minutes on both sides. The coloring should be a medium caramel color. After the fish is done, squeeze lemon over all the pieces. Enjoy!
