Tilapia Gyros Recipes

TILAPIA GYROS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425° F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix Tzatziki ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
• In small shallow dish, mix bread crumbs, lemon peel, oregano, salt and pepper. Place egg in another shallow dish; beat with fork. Dip 1 fish fillet into egg; shake off excess. Coat both sides with bread crumb mixture; shake off excess crumbs, and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining fish fillets. Spray tops of breaded fish with cooking spray. Wrap pita breads in foil.
• Bake fish 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork, placing foil-wrapped pita breads in oven last 10 minutes of bake time.
• To serve, place lettuce leaf on half of each pita bread. Top with fish fillet, cucumber and tomato. Drizzle with tzatziki; fold other half of pita breads over fillings.

QUICK PAN-FRIED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Begin by seasoning both sides of each filet and cutting the first lemon into slices to lay on top of each filet.
• Heat a pan large enough to fit 5 filets, adding half of the butter and half of the olive oil. Squeezing half a lemon over each side as it cooks.
• Once the first side has turned golden, turn over and cook on the other side. Add the remaining olive oil and butter.
• Add the lemon slices to each filet once they are almost done cooking, allowing them to sit until the slices soften slightly before removing from heat.
• Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetable for a simple and easy meal. I love to serve it with my Garlic Parmesan Asparagus for a tasty meal.
• Enjoy!
