ingredients
- 8 pieces boneless tilapia
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 cup unbleached white flour
- 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Method
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 2 Tablespoons of mayonnaise.
Step 2
Using clean hands, add in 8 pieces of tilapia, then mix carefully to cover each piece of tilapia with the egg mixture.
Step 3
If you have the time to have the tilapia marinated in the mixture, that would give it more flavor. However, if you are in a hurry not letting it stand for long will taste great too.
Step 4
Heat up 4 Tablespoons olive oil in a pan.
Step 5
On a flat plate add 1 cup of flour. Cover each piece of tilapia in flour before adding to the pan.
Step 6
Sear each piece, flipping over so both sides of tilapia are a golden brown color. This will be quick.
Step 7
Tilapia will be moist and soft. It’s ready to enjoy!
