Key Lime Cajun Mayo

I'm always looking for a new way to flavor fish... usually tilapia, because it's usually the cheapest...
Last night I mixed up some mayo, some key lime juice, some cajun spice mix, pepper, and sea salt, slathered the fish with that and baked it.  Yummy!

Tilapia

This is supposedly the fish that Jesus fed the multitudes.

It's also cheap and good lol. Freezer section @ IGA has packages w/~6 filets 4 2.99...

Had it the other night and wanted to do something different ... lol with limited supplies... what? - I wanted some crunch to it somehow. In a glass pan sprayed with pam I spread mayo on each fish filet, then squeezed 1/2 lemon over all three filets. Put some salad croutons in a baggie and used the bottom of a glass to smash them into crumbs, sprinkled over the fish and baked til done. It really was good, we had couscous & sauteed onions & peppers with it. The peppers were frozen and from my mother-in-law's garden. :) mustard mixed with the mayo would have been good too...

Even better Tilapia

Pan Fried Tilapia

4-6 tilapia fillets

3 tablespoons flour

4 tablespoons peanut oil

4 tablespoons butter

1 lemon juiced

1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

salt and pepper to taste

Season tilapia with salt and pepper. Dust portions lightly with flour.

Sauté the fish in peanut oil until they are nicely browned and cooked all the way through (about 2-3 minutes per side).

When done, remove Tilapia, drain oil, add lemon juice, butter and parsley. Whisk to blend. Pour over Tilapia and serve.

Serves 4.

Did a search for Pan Fried Tilapia and the above recipe was the first one I looked at. I used Olive Oil and didn't have parsley - served it with Fried Green Tomatoes - will post my version of that soon :) and corn sauteed in butter with green pepper, red onion & spinach. Made a great dinner.
