Pan Seared Cajun Tilapia

It's a beautiful spring day here in North Carolina. We are cooking up some delicious tilapia. The dish is light, yet full of flavor. It will go great with some cous cous and steamed broccoli. We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!

Pan Seared Cajun Tilapia

5-7 oz Tilapia Filets

2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Few drops of Roasted Garlic Oil (mix it in with the olive oil)

1 tsp Cajun Seasoning

Fresh Basil

Lemon

Directions 

1. Rub the fish down in half of the oil mixture.

2. Sprinkle both sides with Cajun seasoning

3. In a iron skillet, add remaining oil. Heat on medium high for 2-3 minutes

4. Once hot, place fish in skillet. The key to pan searing any protein is to let it cook and not touch it for at least 3 minutes. So, at this point just allow the fish to cook. Once 1/2 inch of the edge of the fish starts to turn white you can flip it. (A great test is to shake the skillet back and forth, if the fish or whatever protein you are cooking releases and slides back and forth it is now ready to cook on the other side)

5. When ready, flip over and add fresh cut basil. To complete the cooking process, you will cook it for another 3-5 minutes. The internal temperature should reach at least 135 degrees.

6. After that, plate it up and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. Enjoy!
