________________________________
INGREDIENTS:
2 large tilapia fillets
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves
1/4 lemon
Parsley for garnish
Dry Batter:
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red chilli flakes
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme

METHOD:
1. Clean and pat dry 2 large tilapia fillets. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside for 5 mins
2. In a plate, mix all the ingredients mentioned under dry batter. Coat the fish on both sides with the dry batter and gently shake off excess
3. On low flame, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet/wide pan and infuse it with 2 crushed garlic cloves. Once the garlic starts to brown, remove it from the pan. This way we get a subtle garlic flavor in the dish
4. Next melt 2 tbsp butter in the oil. If using salted, don't add salt to the dry batter or it might end up too salty
5. Set flame to medium and gently place the fish. Fry for 3-4 mins per side. Be careful while flipping as it can break easily
6. Once the fish is done, squeeze the juice of 1/4 lemon all over and garnish with fresh parsley
7. Serve these delicious pan fried Tilapia fillets with sautéed veggies or a salad
