Potato-Crusted Tilapia

  4.5 – 2 reviews  • Tilapia

This breakfast, brunch, or dessert-worthy cranberry coffee cake with nuts is amazingly simple to create.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 tilapia fillets

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup precooked shredded potatoes
  2. 1 shallot, chopped
  3. 1 teaspoon honey mustard
  4. ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  5. ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  6. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  7. 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
  8. 4 tilapia fillets
  9. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  10. 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Combine shredded potatoes, shallot, honey mustard, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Spread each portion of fish with 1 teaspoons mayonnaise and top with 1/4 the potato mixture, pressing onto the fish.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place fish in the skillet, potato-side down and cook until crispy and browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn fish over gently, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking until fish flakes easily using a fork, 4 to 5 minutes more.
  3. Serve fish with lemon wedges.
  4. Look for precooked shredded potatoes in the grocery, or use frozen hash browns and just let them defrost.
  5. Be gentle when flipping fish, as it can easily fall apart.

For flavor I give this 5 stars. Ease and preparation I give it 3. I met in the middle and gave it 4 stars. The only thing I did differently was to sub Dijon mustard for the honey mustard due to personal preference. That was a good move for us but where my problem came in was the flipping. I was very careful but the potato mixture refused to stay put on the fish making it a bit sloppy looking for serving. Taste wise though this is excellent.

This was delicious even though I forgot to spread the mayonnaise on the fillets. Next time I would shake some salt and pepper on the fish and double the amount of garlic salt.
