Original Recipe Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

1 pound tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs (such as Progresso®)
2 teaspoons roasted onion flakes
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon blackened seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground sea salt, or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons butter

Directions

Beat the egg with milk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, roasted onion flakes, garlic, blackened seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sea salt.
Dip a tilapia fillet into the egg mixture, then press gently into the crumb mixture on both sides; set the coated fillet onto a plate. Repeat with remaining fillets; refrigerate the coated fillets for about 15 minutes to help set the crumbs.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a cast-iron frying pan over medium heat. Lay the fillets into the skillet, and pan-fry until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. The fish should be opaque and flaky underneath the coating. Remove and drain fillets on paper towels.
