Sauteed Tilapia With Lime Recipes

Steps:

• Make chile lime butter:
• Stir together butter, shallot, zest, lime juice, chile, and salt in a bowl.
• Prepare fish:
• If using striped bass, score skin in 3 or 4 places with a thin sharp knife to prevent fish from curling (do not cut through flesh). Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just smoking, then sauté 3 pieces of fish, turning over once with a spatula, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a plate. Sauté remaining fish in remaining tablespoon oil in same manner.
• Serve each piece of fish with a dollop of chile lime butter.

Steps:

• Rinse the fish and pat dry.
• Put the flour on a plate and season it with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the fillets in the flour, patting to remove excess.
• In a small bowl, combine the garlic, wine, lime juice and butter, then set aside.
• Heat the oil in a 10 to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the fillets without overlapping (you may need to cook in 2 batches).
• Cook until golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Turn the fillets over and cook until opaque through the thickest part, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Transfer the fish to a platter and keep warm (cover with foil or place in a 200 degree oven).
• Add the wine mixture to pan and boil, scraping up cooked bits, until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the onions and heat on low about 30 seconds.
• Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• rinse and dry fish, salt and pepper them, then dredge in flour, removing excess. Combine garlic, wine, lime, and butter in small bowl. Heat olive oil in large frying pan on med/high, add fillets and coook until golden on both sides, about 3 min each side. transfer to platter and cover to keep warm. Add wine mixture to pan and boil, scraping up cooked bits, about 1 1/2 min, add onions and garlic and stir for another min, add fish on top for 1/2 min

Steps:

• Melt 1 tsp butter & oil in large skillet over low heat.
• Sprinkle fish with salt, pepper & paprika. Coat fish in flour on a shallow dish, shake off excess flour.
• Increase heat to medium-high, when butter turns light brown add fillets and saute 3 mins both sides.
• Remove fillets from pan and pour broth and lemon juice into the hot pan. Bring to a boil and whisk in 2 tsp butter.
• Serve sauce over fillets.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add tilapia fillets (thawed if frozen) to the pan.
• Sprinkle the fish with garlic powder (use more or less depending on your tastes).
• Pour lime juice over fish (use more or less depending on your tastes).
• Saute the tilapia until the fillets are opaque and easily flake with a fork (I usually turn once during cooking).
• Serve while hot. I like to serve this with a side of rice pilaf and california blend veggies.

Steps:

• Cover bottom of skillet with oil. I like using extra virgin olive oil aka/EVOO with this dish but any oil should work. I just feel it's a little healthier. Sometimes I add a pat of butter to the oil as well. This gives it a nice flavor. Heat it up before putting in the fish.
• Wash fillets and pat dry with a paper towel. This will help the seasonings to stick to the fillets better.
• Place fillets into the hot oil. Sprinkle on the seasonings and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes. (This depends on the size and thickness of the fillets). Flip each fillet and sprinkle the other side with the seasonings and cook approximately 5 additional minutes. Flip once more and cook approximately one minute or less and plate them up.
• I like spooning the extra seasoned EVOO sauce over my fillets. This is so yummy to dip your bread in. You can certainly use your favorite seasonings instead of the ones I use.
