Tilapia Hot Pot Recipes

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.

INSTANT POT CAJUN TILAPIA WITH ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• This recipe requires the "pot in pot" method of pressure cooking. If you do not have a oven-proof container that will fit inside the inner liner of your pressure cooker, create a sling using the trivet and aluminum foil.
• Pour water into the pressure cooker and place the trivet inside. Rest the "pot in pot" or sling on top of the trivet.
• Coat tilapia fillets with cajun seasoning on all sides. Place the fish in the inner pot or sling, stacking the fish if needed.
• Close and set the valve to sealing. Set the pressure cooker to manual or pressure cook on high for 2 minutes. Quick release the pressure. Check the inner temperature of the fish, verifying it has reached a minimum of 145 degrees.
• Carefully remove the tilapia from the pressure cooker and keep it warm. Turn off the pressure cooker and pour out the water. Place the pot back inside the pressure cooker and turn on the saute function.
• When the temperature reaches "hot," melt the butter. Stir in the cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the cheese has melted, about 1 minute. Turn off the pressure cooker. The Alfredo sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve over tilapia.

CHINESE HOT POT AT HOME

Steps:

• Place boiling soup base or stock in a wide, shallow pot the center of the table on a portable electric burner.
• Place individual plates of raw ingredients on the table, along with dipping sauce ingredients.
• Have each diner mix their own dipping sauce while the pot of soup comes to a boil. Once boiling, begin adding ingredients to the pot. Be sure to cook ingredients through before consuming, and allow the pot to boil for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute after adding any raw meat or seafood.

LEMON GARLIC BAKED TILAPIA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Wash 4-5 medium-sized tilapia fillets with water and pat them dry using a paper towel. Line the tilapia fillets on a 9×13 inch baking tray.
• Note - if using frozen fillets, thaw them before using.
• Stir together 1 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp minced garlic, ½ tsp hot paprika (or Kashmiri red chili powder), ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
• Pour the marinade over the Tilapia fillets. Arrange 3-4 slices of lemon over the fish.
• Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is flaky and fork-tender. Garnish with pepper flakes, lemon slices, and chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve hot.

INSTANT POT TILAPIA

Steps:

• Put your sliced vegetables into the bottom of your pot, then place a trivet on top of them so it sits flat on bottom.
• Place fish fillets on trivet. Pour your broth or water on top of the fish so it drains down on top of everything. Mix spices together and sprinkle over the top of each piece so they're seasoned. Can sprinkle fresh parsley on top too if you wish.
• Put 1 tbsp of butter on top of each fillet. Close lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 8 minutes. Then do a quick release when done.
• Lift out trivet and serve fish on plates with sides of veggies. Season again with a pinch of salt and pepper if you wish, according to taste.

SICHUAN HOT POT

Steps:

• For the soup base:
• In a wok over medium heat, add the oil and the ginger. Cook the ginger for about a minute until caramelized, making sure it doesn't burn. Add the bay leaves, whole garlic cloves, cinnamon stick, star anise, and cloves. Cook for another 2 minutes, until very fragrant.
• Add the Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilies (whole), and the spicy hot pot soup base. Cook for another 2 minutes, and then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and transfer to the pot you'll be using for your hot pot meal. You want the pot to be relatively wide and at least 6 inches deep.
• To make the dipping sauce, simply combine whatever mix of ingredients you like.
• To assemble the hotpot, simply plug in your hot plate, place the prepared pot of broth on top, and bring to a low boil or simmer. Place all of your prepared ingredients around it, have everyone mix up their own dipping sauces, and dive in. Each person just takes whatever they want, adds it to the pot, waits for it to cook, and then dips it into their sauce. As the water evaporates as you're cooking, add boiling water to the pot as needed. You can also serve rice with hot pot (we do), but it's not mandatory.
