Serves/Makes: 6
Ready in: 1-2 hrs
- 6 tilapia fillets
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice PLUS
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons thickly sliced garlic
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Rinse and pat fillets dry. Place in a 2\" deep glass or enamel-coated dish. Sprinkle with lime juice. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. In heavy skillet, combine oil and butter and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute just until lightly browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic and set aside. Remove fish (reserve lime juice), pat dry with paper towel. Dust lightly with flour, shaking off excess. Warm the skillet over medium-high heat, frying fish 2 to 3 minutes per side until brown and crisp outside and just done inside. Remove fillets to a warming dish. Reheat garlic, stir in remaining lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper. Heat just until the cilantro begins to wilt. Pour over the fillets and serve.
