Tilapia cooked three different ways

We had a large bag of frozen tilapia sitting in the freezer for months and I just couldn't decide what to do with it. Finally I decided to cook all of it at once but try out some simple recipes at the same time. The first picture with the white sauce and green onion bits is MaMa's Supper Club Tilapia Parmesan. Find the recipe at: http://www.food.com/recipe/mamas-supper-club-tilapia-parmesan-53914 We found the recipe to be a decadent one with enough rich creamy sauce for the fish to "swim" in as it was baking. We definitely enjoyed it but would want it sparingly because of the preparation time and indulgent ingredients.


Next up is the traditional fried fish. (All the recipes came from www.food.com which replaced the old recipezaar site.) Here's the link for this recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/crispy-tilapia-47391 The addition of cornmeal, baking soda and baking powder gave this fried fish an extra good crunch factor. This one was the best cold when we had leftovers the next day.

And the third recipe was the simplest with fish, garlic and olive oil along with seasonings of your choice. One merely starts cooking the fish in a little olive oil, adds the garlic slices and continues cooking until fish flakes easily. By far the easiest of the three recipes, it was also the one that we devoured completely so I have no idea how the leftovers would taste. Simple yet flavorful, the garlic and olive oil lend a tantalizing blend of mild flavors to the tilapia. This is the recipe I will make again when short on time and craving a healthy and delicious main dish.
