Ingredients

  • 8 (4 ounce) fillets of tilapia
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.
