Fried Tilapia Recipe

Friday is the day that we abstain from meat during lent (and you might know the reason behind it). I cooked Fried Tilapia for dinner last Friday and had some bagoong Balayan (fermented fish paste) on the side – it was a blast. I might have abstained from meat that day but I miserably failed on the fasting part.

Ingredients

Measured from the catalog payload.

  • 2 pieces tilapia cleaned and scales removed
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup cooking oil

Instructions

6 cooking steps

  1. Rub salt all over the fish including the insides.
  2. Heat oil in a wide frying pan
  3. When the oil is hot, put-in the tilapia. Cover the frying pan, but make sure to open it a little so that steam can come out. Fry each side in medium heat for about 6 to 10 minutes. Note: I usually wait until I don’t hear any sound. This means that the liquid is gone and the fish is crisp.
  4. Remove from the pan and arrange in a serving plate.
  5. Serve with your favorite condiments and side dish.
  6. Share and enjoy!
