Tilapia and Edamame
This is really two separate dishes from Sandra Lee’s Money Saving meals show on the Food Network that we just happened to randomly catch one evening. It was so worth it! We’ve tweaked them a bit and included the notes and updates below.
Ingredients
- Tilapia Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning we use Old Bay!
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 tilapia fillets we use the frozen kind when we can’t get fresh from the grocery store
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable or olive, whatever is on hand!
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves you can leave this out if you don’t have them on hand
- Edamame Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable or olive, whatever is on hand!
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 10-ounce bag frozen shelled edamame, thawed
Instructions
- Tilapia directions:
- In a shallow baking dish combine flour, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the tilapia and lightly coat each side.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess seasoned flour and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Turn down the heat to the pan the tilapia was cooked to low and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic, lemon juice and parsley and saute for 2 minutes. Place the fillets on serving plates or a platter, top with the sauce and serve.
- Edamame Directions:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, season with salt and pepper, to taste and saute for 2 minutes. Add edamame and saute for 4 minutes until edamame are heated through and onions are tender.
Notes
My opinion Tilapia:
We use more Old Bay than flour in this dish. The original directions call for putting the tilapia in a baking dish to keep warm until the edamame is done. That step is unnecessary. The tilapia stays warm just fine. My Opinion Edamame:
No changes necessary here! The directions were spot on and this is an excellent pairing with the tilapia above. Enjoy!
