Fried tilapia fillets get their unique flavor from seafood seasoning, which is mixed with flour and then dredged. Frying the tender fillets takes no more than 5 minutes. Immediately transfer the tilapia to paper towels to remove excess fat, and use the remaining oil, rich in flavor from the fish, to create a delicious sauce made with butter, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Despite the richness of the sauce, the herbs and lemon juice add a refreshing flavor—perfect for fried fish! Drizzle the sauce over the tilapia and enjoy.
