Regal Springs Tilapia Recipes as Easy as A-B-Sea
Tilapia Sliders (mini sandwiches) 8 servings
Ingredients:
| ½ cup milk 2 eggs 1 cup flour ¼ cup yellow cornmeal ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 4 Regal Springs Tilapia* fillets (cut into 16 equal pieces) Salt and pepper to taste 3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 Package Parker House or Hawaiian Rolls 4 leaves Romaine lettuce ½ tomato, sliced 4 slices cheddar cheese TANGY TARTAR ½ cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons pickle relish 1 tablespoon lemon juice Salt and pepper |
Directions:
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.
- In another medium-size bowl, mix together the flour, salt and pepper, Parmesan, cornmeal and parsley.
- Dunk fillets in milk mixture and then dredge fillets though cornmeal mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- In a large sauté pan, immediately heat the oil over medium-high heat. When it is hot, but not smoking, add the fillets to the pan.
- Cook on one side until the batter is light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Carefully turn the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Using a slotted spatula, remove them from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the tartar-sauce ingredients.
- Slice the buns and place a fillet on each bottom bun, then top with the lettuce, tomato, cheese and tartar sauce.
- A fun activity is to let your kids use mini spreaders to apply their own condiments. This recipe also works well with honey mustard, ketchup or barbecue sauce for condiments.
