Ingredients
2 lb tilapia fillets
1 lb bacon strips, diced
¼ cup red onion, chopped
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp vegetable oil
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup potato fries
½ cup mixed vegetables, sauteed
2 tsbp green onions, sliced
4 lemon wedges
Preparation
In a large skillet, saute the bacon over medium heat for roughly 5 to 8 minutes, until it turns brown but not too crispy.
Add the onion and continue sauteing for at least 10 minutes until caramelized, stirring constantly. Set aside and keep warm.
Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge the tilapia with this seasoned flour.
Heat up the butter and oil in a hot skillet. Shallow fry the tilapia for roughly 5 minutes per side, until fully cooked and golden brown on all sides.
When the fish is ready to serve, top it with the bacon mixture.
Garnish with green onions and lemon wedges. Serve and enjoy it with potato fries and sauteed vegetables.
