Potato Parmesan and Chive Crusted Tilapia
- 1 whole Baking Potato, Shredded (uncooked)
- 1/2 cups Freshly Shaved Or Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Chopped Chives
- 1/2 cups Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Salted Butter
- 1 pound Tilapia (or Other Mild Light Fish)
- 1 whole Lemon, Cut Into Wedges
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Chives
- 2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
- Place the shredded potato in a towel and squeeze as much of the liquid out as you can.
- Place in a rimmed dish and toss together with the parmesan and the chives.
- In a second dish, combine the flour, salt and pepper.
- In a third dish, whisk together the eggs.
- Preheat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
- When its good and hot, dredge the tilapia into the flour mixture (being sure to thoroughly coat it) and shake off excess.
- Next, dunk into the egg wash. Last, place a thin layer (about 1/4) of the shredded potato into the hot pan, trying to match the size of the fish fillet as best as possible.
- Place dredged and egg-washed fish on top of the potato.
- Cook for about 4 minutes (it should have a nice golden crust), and then lift fish with a spatula.
- While holding fish with the spatula, add the remaining butter and oil (if needed).
- Once its good and hot, add another thin layer of the shredded potato mixture to the pan (again matching the size of your fish fillet).
- Carefully flip the fish onto the new bed of shredded potato and allow to finish cooking (about 4-6 minutes depending on fish size).
- Once golden on both sides, remove from pan and allow to rest for 2 minutes before serving (allowing the heat to finish the last bit of cooking).
- Garnish with fresh lemon juice, chives, and parmesan cheese.
- Delicious.
