Potato-Crusted Tilapia with Honey Mustard

By Jeffrey Mora

Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 lbs. tilapia filets
8 oz. instant potato flakes
8 oz. bread crumbs
4 eggs
½ C milk
1 C flour
1 C mayonnaise
¼ C honey
2 T Dijon mustard
2 C frying oil

Method:

In a bowl, combine the potato flakes and the bread crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and the milk.

Cut the tilapia filets into eight equal pieces and season with salt and pepper. Dip them first in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the potato flakes and bread crumb mix.

On medium high, heat oil in a deep-sided pan or pot and fry for two minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel.

Mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and honey together, season with salt and pepper and serve with tilapia.
