Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, brown fish in butter., In a small bowl, combine the egg, cheese, milk and cayenne; spoon over fish. Sprinkle with tomato, olives and pine nuts. Bake, uncovered, at 425° until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 10-15 minutes., In a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon juice and pepper; drizzle over fish.

Steps:

• Wash the tilapia fillets. Soak the tilapia fillets in cold water with a splash of vinegar, wine or beer for 15 minutes. Pat dry and season with Old Bay. Coat the tilapia in olive oil. 2 Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a small shallow bowl. 3 Place cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add about 2 tbsps of olive oil, 1 tbsp of butter, and 1/8 tsp of curry powder. Heat until butter is melted and oil is hot. Make sure the mixture coats the bottom of the skillet. 4 Set oven to broil. Dip the oiled and seasoned tilapia in the bread crumb mixture. Place in heated skillet. Allow tilapia to cook for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Use spatula or tongs to turn and allow to brown on the other side. 5 Place the skillet in the oven and broil for about 5 minutes. Watch the tilapia carefully as some ovens broil faster or slower than others.

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

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.
