fish is a dish i am not confident in my ability to prepare. i have tried boxes of breading, countless cookbooks, consulted websites, all with an inconsistent level of success. tonight's recipe worked out beautifully and ironically, i followed no recipe at all... three of the four of us were members of the clean plate club, in fact! i'll divide this recipe out a little bit differently than previous posts...
breading: mix the following in shallow pan
spattering of seasoned bread crumbs (probably 1/2 c)
2 T corn meal
2 T flour
1 t parsley
sprinkling of garlic salt
s&p
in a bowl, wisk together
3/4 c milk
2-3 T sour cream
1 t lemon juice
fish:
tilapia fillets to fill your family, i think i fried 6 and could have gotten away with 4 or 5...
thaw fillets, rinse well, and pat dry
tartar sauce:
3/4 c miracle whip
1/4 c sour cream
2-3 T finely diced onion
1 T relish
1 T lemon juice
1 t dill
1 t parsley
s&p
mix all ingredients in a small bowl while fish is thawing to allow flavors to marry longer.
preparation:
in a skillet, heat 2 T oil
dip fillet in milk, dredge in breading, place on skillet
fry until golden and flip, total time around 7 minutes
*i am always concerned about cooking fish completely so i err on the side of over cooking...
