Best Pan Fried Tilapia Recipe - Tasty Recollections

Begin by thawing your tilapia fillets. If they're straight from the freezer like mine often are, you can either run them under cold tap water or place them in a bowl with water for a couple of minutes until they thaw.
4 Tilapia
Once your tilapia fillets are thawed, pat them dry quickly with a paper towel. Now, season both sides with a pinch of salt to your taste.
Salt
Time to coat them with flour. Ensure they are evenly coated for that perfect crispy texture.
1/4 cup All-purpose flour
In a nonstick skillet, melt some butter over medium heat. It's important to keep an eye on the butter, making sure it's melted but not burnt, so don't wait too long to add the tilapia fillets.
2-3 tbsp Butter
As the skillet warms up, add the tilapia fillets. Let them sizzle and brown on one side until it becomes crispy, and then flip them to do the same on the other side.
Once both sides are beautifully crispy and brown, transfer the tilapia fillets to a plate lined with paper towels. This step helps blot away any excess butter, leaving you with a mouthwatering, golden creation.
And that's it – you're ready to serve up a meal that's not only delicious but also incredibly quick and easy to prepare!
