A delightful and easy-to-make tilapia dish with a crispy coating and a zesty garlic lemon sauce.
Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Coat each tilapia fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Pat the fish dry before coating for better adherence.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the fillets until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Remove the fillets and set aside. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Keep the heat low to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the lemon juice and parsley to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the sauce over the cooked fillets and serve immediately.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh touch.
