Pan-Fried Tilapia Tacos Recipe
- 2 cups medium-dice fresh pineapple
- 2 medium jalapenos (seeds removed if you want a milder salsa), minced
- 1/2 medium lime
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound fresh tilapia (about 5 fillets)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 8 corn tortillas
- Mix the pineapple and jalapenos in a medium bowl.
- Squeeze the lime half over top.
- Season with salt and set aside.
- Season both sides of the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
- Dredge in the flour so all surfaces are lightly and evenly coated.
- Set a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil.
- When the skillet is very hot, add half of the floured fish pieces.
- Sear for 4 minutes on the first side.
- Flip, brush with half of the melted butter, and cook for 4 more minutes, until done.
- Repeat with the remaining fillets.
- Heat up your tortillas (we do it directly over a gas flame till theyre puffed and a little blistered), distribute the fillets among the tortillas, top each taco with pineapple salsa, and serve.
