Crispy Honey Lime Tilapia
- 4 whole Tilapia Fillets
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
- 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed
- 13 cups Flour, Seasoned With Salt, Pepper, And Lime Zest
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, For Frying
- Honey And Lime Zest, For Additional Drizzles
- 60 minutes before cooking, season tilapia fillets with salt and pepper then lay in a baking dish or into a large ziplock bag.
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, lime juice and zest, and crushed garlic and whisk until combined.
- Pour over tilapia and let marinate for an hour.
- Add flour (plus a bit more salt, pepper, and lime zest) to a bowl and set aside.
- Heat a cast iron skillet (or a non-stick skillet) over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Dredge each piece of tilapia through the flour until you have a very light coating.
- Making sure the pan is hot, add tilapia to the oil and cook until flaky and crispy on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove tilapia from pan and let drain on a paper towel for a few minutes.
- Serve with an additional drizzle of lime and honey.
- I also serve this with blueberry lime salsa, which can be found in my recipe box.
- Makes 4 tilapia fillets.
