Serves
4
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp honey mustard
1 egg, beaten
1 cup instant mashed-potato flakes (or more if needed)
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
4 tilapia fillets
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil

Methods/steps

Place flour on a shallow plate. Set aside. In a shallow bowl, mix buttermilk, honey mustard and egg. Set aside. On a separate plate, mix together the potato flakes, paprika, salt and pepper.

Dip tilapia in flour, then buttermilk mixture, then potato flakes. Let rest in the refrigerator about 1 hour. This will help the coating stay on when you fry the fish.

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, melt butter in olive oil. Sauté fillets for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with homemade tartar sauce (3 parts mayonnaise to 1 part sweet pickle relish; add a dash of hot pepper sauce).

Additional Tips

A buttery California Chardonnay is a good match with the crunchy browned fish.
