About This Recipe

"Another very simple recipe...and a healthy one as well."

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil ( good quality extra virgin)
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
• 2 tilapia fillets
• 2 tablespoons Miracle Whip
• 1 tablespoon sweet relish
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

1. Warm up olive oil in a 10" or 12" skillet.
2. Mix the corn meal and Old Bay seasoning thoroughly, then spread out on a platter.
3. Coat tilapia fillets lightly, but thoroughly with corn meal and Old Bay mixture.
4. Lay coated fillets in hot olive oil (medium-medium high heat) and cook until golden on the bottom, then turn fillets over and repeat.
5. Do not overcook the fish--it's easy to do.
6. While fillets are cooking, combine Miracle Whip, sweet relish, and lemon juice and stir until well blended, then serve with the fish.
7. It's quick, easy, and doesn't require a lot of cleanup.
8. Steamed carrots or broccoli and some form of potatoes go well with this.

  This is great! I purchased 6 - yes, 6 - pounds of Tilapia filets without ever having tasted it. We got it yesterday, so today I made a couple for lunch using your recipe. Delicious! And you're right - quick and easy. I'm not a fan of anything that resembles tartar sauce, so I had mine "as is" with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. I'm planning on making this for my Kiddo for lunch tomorrow - she's gonna love it. Thanks!

  Delish! I would cut he seasoning/cornmeal in half next time. I also substituted the olive oil with canola since olive oil can't handle high heat at all.
