Pan-Seared Tilapia - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.
