Tilapia With Onion Crust

Tilapia With Onion Crust

Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb tilapia fillet
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons herbs, chopped fine
• 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• olive oil (for frying)

Directions

• 1 NOTE: Use any fresh herb such as basil, sage, rosemary or a combination.
• 2 Heat the oil in a heavy pan, add the onion and fry until caramelized (brown).
• 3 In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs and herbs.
• 4 Add the caramelized onions to the crumb mixture and combine well.
• 5 Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.
• 6 Dip fish into the beaten egg, then into the crumb mixture and pat lightly to help crumbs adhere to fillet. I usually refrigerate the breaded fish for 15 minutes or so, but this is just my preference.
• 7 Pan fry in olive oil til crust is golden and fish is of desired doneness, about 5 minute per side.
• 8 Serve with your favorite side dish. I like mine with plain steamed basmati rice and cold sliced cucumbers.
