Ingredients

  • 4 fish filets (cod, salmon, tilapia)
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1 lemon, lime, or orange
  • Optional 1 teaspoon dried herb or seasoning (basil, lemon pepper, oregano)

Instructions

  1. Thaw fish, if frozen.
  2. On a plate or in a shallow bowl, stir together flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Coat each side of the fish filets in the flour mixture. Place the coated fish in the skillet.
  5. Cook fish until golden brown on the bottom, about 3-5 minutes. Turn fish over. Sprinkle with dried herb or seasoning, if desired. Cook for 3-5 minutes more, until the internal temperature of the fish is 145 degrees F.
