1 lb. tilapia fillets
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh or concentrated
1 cup Andy's Red Fish Breading
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. paprika, regular or hot
- Melt butter or margarine. Combine melted butter and lemon juice.
- Mix Andy's Red Fish Breading, parsley, and 1/4 cup of the lemon-butter mixture together in a medium bowl.
- Add paprika to the mixture.
- Wash fish and pat dry with paper towel.
- Dip tilapia fillets in the breading mixture (reserving some of the mixture for a later step).
- Let fillets stand several minutes for coating to adhere.
