Ingredients
- 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 4 (6 to 8 ounces each) skinless tilapia fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Spicy Black Beans, (optional)
- 1/2 cup prepared tomato salsa
Directions
-
In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal and paprika; season generously with salt and pepper. Separate fillets into thick and thin sides. Dredge each piece in cornmeal mixture, patting it on to coat completely.
-
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook as many pieces as will fit (without crowding) until golden brown and firm, about 2 minutes per side for thin pieces and 4 minutes per side for thick ones. Transfer to a plate; sprinkle with salt, if desired, and cover loosely to keep warm. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Repeat with remaining oil and fish. Serve with Spicy Black Beans, if desired, and salsa.
Very simple, very tasty. A good weeknight meal. I served it with roasted Brussels sprouts, but I bet the fish would make awesome sandwiches with cabbage and aioli as well.

I love this recipe. It is a "never-fail" quick and easy meal. I serve it with Zatarains low-sodium black beans and rice. So yummy! Perfect recipe for when you don't have a lot of time to make dinner.
It was yummy! Turned out perfectly. I added a dash of garlic powder to the cornmeal mixture. Served with bowtie pasta. Added feta cheese, chopped kalamata olives and basil pesto to the pasta and put a dash of pesto on top the tilapia also. Delicious! I will be making this again!
I agree. It was easy and tasted delicious. I served mine with kidney beans and rice. Yum

Fast and delicious! I add a bit of Cajun Seasoning I bought in New Orleans, along with the paprika. Tilapia is one of our favorite fish dinners.
Yum! Very easy and tasty. I don't know if it made a difference, but I first dipped the fish in a beaten egg, then in the cornmeal mixture. I served it with a store bought red pepper and onion relish.
