LOOKING FOR A TILAPIA RECIPE

Unknown
edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I finally got my wife to let me buy some fish. I am looking for a good Tilapia recipe. If I blow this she will not let me try it again!

  • GZMOGATOR, We do them by a tip posted on here, sprinkled with dizzy pig, and on the egg for just a few min. they are thin so they do not need much. soft flour tortillas warmed on the egg then piled with coleslaw and the fish and folded up. YUMMY!

    GZMOGATOR, Because the sources and handling of talapia vary greatly around the world (what you get will often be previously frozen), you might do everything exactly right and still wind up with poor results. "Tilapia" encompasses a variety of species and there starts the uncertainty. Your best bet is to befriend a local fish monger and hope that he's selling fish from a good source. And if you're not satisfied, go back and bark! You'll find some interesting reading at the site below.[p]Rascal

    Juliem4444,[p]This is exactly what I do. I actually use just shredded red cabbage and a chipotle mayo made with half sour cream, half mayo, chipotles in adobo, salt, pepper and a splash of lime. If in a real hurry just mix Tipatio or some other hot sauce with ranch dressing to drizzle on top. Oh, cilantro to sprinkle on top gives great flavor.

    GZMOGATOR,[p]Check the Dizzy Pig site - I believe it has a recipe that is either tilapia or will work nicely for tilapia.
  • GZMOGATOR,[p]I like this one.

  • GZMOGATOR,[p]Hope I am not late for dinner. This one of Ken's is great.[p]Tilapia, Filets, Baked

    I baked tilapia filets tonight. I began by flouring and egg-washing them, just like I'd do if I were going to fry them. But instead of crumbs, or panko, for the final coat I used crushed french-fried onions. Then I baked them, indirect, at 350 for 25 minutes. Not having a baking sheet for the Egg, I lined a grill topper with parchment paper. The filets were great!
