Seared Tilapia With Onions image

I generally like to bake unbreaded fish dishes, but in thesummer a hot oven is undesireable. I like searing in a non stick skillet it works, it is quick, and it is delicious.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 tilapia fish fillets, thick ones
2 tsp prepared minced garlic
1 large vidalia onion, coarsley chopped
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp mrs. dash, zesty
1 tsp paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Before you start cooking, season fillets with your spices. In large hot, non stick skillet place oil, (medium hi heat) I leave in center of skillet and put garlic there till it sizzles, then spread out
  • 2. Place onions in now and saute until beginning to get tender
  • 3. scatter onions out and lay fish in skillet.
  • 4. cook, uncovered on medium heat, don't get to anxious, do NOT turn fish until one side is nicely seared. (lift up edge with spatula and peek ) . If you turn it too often, fillets will fall apart.
  • 5. do keep the onions moving, so they don't burn, and if you need to, add another teaspoon of oil. If onions are browning too quickly, lay them on the fillets
  • 6. check fish after 10 minutes for crispness on underside and turn fillets over. Cook another 10 minutes or until fish is seared well and the flesh is nice and white.
  • 7. Serve warm with a lemon slice if you wish
