Tilapia With Onion Crust

Tilapia fillets breaded with a crumb mixture of carmelized onions and fresh herbs. The onions add a sweet flavor to the crust.

Heat the oil in a heavy pan , add the onion and fry until caramelized.

In a separate bowl , combine the bread crumbs and herbs.

Add the caramelized onions to the crumb mixture and combine well.

Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.

Dip fish into the beaten egg , then into the crumb mixture and pat lightly to help crumbs adhere to fillet.

I usually refrigerate the breaded fish for 15 minutes or so , but this is just my preference.

Pan fry in olive oil til crust is golden and fish is of desired doneness , about 5 minute per side.

Serve with your favorite side dish.

I like mine with plain steamed basmati rice and cold sliced cucumbers.
