You can purchase lemon pepper at in any grocery store in the spice section, it's also great on veggies and steaks too but really brings out the flavor on fish

6 fish fillets (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt (I use 1 teaspoon season salt)
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten (you might need 3 eggs)
6 tilapia fillets (or use catfish)
2 tablespoons butter
2-3 tablespoons oil (more if needed)
lemon slice, sliced thinly (optional)

Directions

1
In a shallow dish combine flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, and lemon pepper until well combined.
2
Place the eggs in a shallow dish.
3
Dip fish fillets into the eggs then dredge in the flour/cornmeal mixture until well coated.
4
Heat butter with oil in a large skillet.
5
Add in the fillets and fry until brown on both sides.
6
Place the fish on a serving platter and top each fillet with 2 to 3 lemon slices if desired.
7
Delicious!

This is so yummy! I cut the recipe down to serve 2. I do think that there was way to much flour mixture. So next time I plan to cut that down even more. This is nice and crisp on the outside while being tender and moist on the inside. A great flavor of lemon. We squeezed the lemon on top. Just yummy! Thanks for posting.

The first time I made this I started preparing without realizing I had run out of lemon pepper. I substituted ginger, served it over couscous, and it was great! Very easy to make, and tasty!

This is a very tasty way to cook tilapia! (and easy!!) The lemon pepper I use has no salt in it. Make sure salt is NOT an ingredient in yours, because 1 tablespoon might be too much. (or omit added salt). Fish had a nice crispy coating, and browned nicely. Thanks for what will become a regular dish here!
