Pan Baked Spiced Tilapia with Celtic Sea Salt


Pan Baked Spiced Tilapia with Celtic Sea Salt
Serves: 4
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
Level: easy

4 Fillet of fresh Tilapia (or another light thin white fish)
1 tsp. Celtic Sea Salt
1 tsp. Fresh cracked black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons ghee, butter, or olive oil
2 lemons cut into wedges

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prep your fish by rinsing it with cool water, then pat dry and lay out the fillets on plate. Mix together the Celtic Sea Salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice onto the fish on both sides, then rub some lemon wedges and squeeze the wedges simultaneously to get some juice onto the fish and allow to sit for a few minutes.
In a large skillet pan heat1 tablespoon of either butter, ghee, or olive oil to medium heat. Use the remaining oil and run it directly onto the fish. Once the pan is heated gently place the fillets in the pan with enough room to cook and not be over crowded in the pan so you can flip the fillets when ready. You should hear a nice sizzle sound when the fish hits the pan. Allow each side of the fish to cook for 1 minute each then place the whole pan into the oven for 3-6 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
Serve on a platter hot with large lemon wedges. Finish with Flower of the Ocean crystals.
