A flavorful and easy-to-make Cajun-inspired tilapia dish, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the minced garlic and chopped green onions to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Coat each tilapia fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Press the fillets gently into the mixture to ensure a good coating.
Place the coated tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the tilapia hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
