Seared Tilapia With Fried Jalapeno And Lemon Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
• Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

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:

• Season tilapia fillets generously on all sides with Cajun seasoning. Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Add oil and butter to pan; swirl and add fish fillets, browning on all sides, about 6 minutes total cooking time. Meanwhile, fry jalapeno slices in oil alongside. Remove both fish and jalapenos to serving plates. Top with fried jalapeno slices, sprinkle with lemon zest and squeeze with remaining lemon wedges, if desired.
• As a suggestion, serve fillets with veggies and/or potatoes.

Steps:

• For Spinach Orzo, prepare orzo according to package directions; drain. Return to hot pan; immediately toss orzo with spinach, half of the olive oil, the lemon peel, and salt.
• Meanwhile rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle all sides of the fish with seasoned salt. In a very large skillet heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add fish in a single layer; cook for 2 minutes. Using a wide spatula, carefully turn fish over; cook about 2 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Transfer fish to a serving platter. Cover and keep warm.
• For sauce, add broth and lemon juice to skillet. Using a whisk, scrape up any crusty bits in the skillet. Whisk in mustard and tarragon; heat through.
• Serve fish with Spinach Orzo. If desired, sprinkle fish with paprika. Pour sauce over fish.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat wine, lemon juice and shallots to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil uncovered 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half.
• Add whipping cream to pan and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Boil uncovered 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from heat and add lemon peel. Beat in butter, 1 piece at a time, with wire whisk, adding the next piece only after the first has been completely beaten in and melted. When all of the butter has been beaten in, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and the white pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.
• In 12-inch skillet (preferably nonstick), heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot. Add fish and cook 3 minutes. Flip and cook 3 minutes longer or until edges begin to brown and fish flakes easily with fork.
• To serve, spoon sauce over fish and sprinkle with nuts.
