Curry Coated Tilapia

Curry Coated Tilapia

Here is the fish that I served with my Napa Cabbage and Watercress Salad last week. 

I really liked the combination because while the fish was warm and spicy the salad was cool and crunchy!

I have really fallen in love with curry powder over the last few months. It is such a simple wasy to add a lot of flavor to a variety of different dishes! I mean all I did to the fish was rub the curry powder and some salt and cayenne pepper right onto it before cooking it up... SO EASY and SO GOOD!

Anyhow, I'm in a bit of a hurry today...but I wanted to post this before I forgot!! Enjoy!!

 

Curry Coated Tilapia

Ingredients

2 6 oz tilapia filets
1 tbsp of curry powder
A pinch of cayenne pepper
A couple pinches of salt
Cooking spray

Directions

In a small bowl combine curry, cayenne and salt.

Spray each fillet with a light coating of cooking spray and then sprinkle with curry mixture.  Use your fingers to rub the spices into the fish (do this on both sides).

Heat a medium non-stick sauté pan over a medium high heat and coat with cooking spray.
Cook tilapia about 2-3 minutes on each side or until just cooked through… Enjoy!

Serves 2.

I love Tilapia! I don't use store-bought curry powder much as I feel the colour is usually way too yellow and flavour kind of lacking. This this spice blend for a quick home-made version: equal amounts of coriander and cumin powder with a pinch of turmeric and some garlic salt and cayenne pepper to taste. A squeeze of lemon in the end would bring out the flavour and add a lovely tang.

Meena - Thanks for the tip on home made curry powder! I am definitely going to give it a try:).

That fish coated in curry powder looks really tasty.

This looks delicious, could´ve used the curry idea yesterday when I made some fish with salad. But I´m sure it won´t be long until I´ll have some fish.

Your blog is lovely, btw.!

Kevin - Thanks...it was yummy!

Audrey - Thanks for stopping by. You'll have to try this one next time.

Wow that looks easy enough for me to make! Do you think I could make it with salmon?

Ron :

I'm gonna try this right now!

ron :

that was delicious...of course.
I'm thinking next time i'll just do the Foreman Grill. You have any other suggestions on what this can be served with?
