Spicy Panko Tilapia

4-6 Tilapia Fillets, patted dry on paper towels
1 cup panko
1-2 tbsp. Louisiana Cajun Seasoning*
2 tsps. dry dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
Fresh ground black pepper
3 tbsps. softened butter
1/2 butter patty for each fillet
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

In a medium bowl, combine the panko, Louisiana Cajun seasoning and dry dill.  Add the softened butter until evenly distributed.  In a large cookie sheet sprinkle dry mixture on each fish fillet, both sides, press down.

Sprinkle on the black pepper.  Add a pat of butter to the top of each fillet then sprinkle on the parsley and chives.


Heat olive oil in pan and add the fish, top side up.  Cook for 7 minutes.

Gently flip over and cook for another 7 minutes or until fish is opaque in color and flaky.

Serve with your favorite sides.


Anytime I can use spicy Cajun seasoning, I will jump at it.  I love spicy food but not real real spicy.  My brother-in-law can eat a jalapeno and Sirachi seasoning on his food all at the same time!  Now that's spicy!  I'm not that daring.  Anyway, last Friday we had a delicious fish fry meal at one of our local country clubs.  As yummy as it was, we didn't mind having fish again a few days later.

Until next time . . .

  2. Sounds and looks good.
    I wish I could get over my aversion to tilapia.
    I saw a documentary on it one time, and they highlighted the fact that tilapia is a bottom feeder, and eats other fishes poo.
    Good grief!! Probably all fish do that!!
    For now, I'm eating trout, and salmon. I need to get over my aversion to tilapia, so that I can add it to our menu.

    Smiles :)
