Not sure if you know this, but February is American Heart Month! And according to the new dietary guidelines, eating about 8 ounces per week of a variety of seafood can help prevent heart disease. So, twice a week make seafood your main protein food on your plate! Seasoning with herbs and spices will defiantly improve the flavor of seafood, we normally like to use, Cajun, lemon juice, oregano, or paprika. I never thought of using taco seasoning! This recipe should be zesty and unique!
Ingredients:
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 pound lake perch fillets
1 egg
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup flour
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
- Place taco seasoning in large resealable bag; add perch fillets, one at a time, and shake to coat. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg. Combine cornmeal and flour in another shallow bowl. Dip fillets in egg, then coast with cornmeal mixture.
- Place in a single layer on a plate; refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Tupps Tidbits: we replaced lake perch for tilapia, you could use any type of white fish
Where did we find this? Taste of Home
Battered and fried fish are delicious, but not particularly healthy. This recipe treats the fish to a zesty flavor. also do not hesitate in putting on more seasoning then the recipe calls for.We would definitely make it again and possibility serve it in some warm corn tortillas with coleslaw and make fish tacos out of it!
KEEPER in our house!
