My cousin got tickets to see a taping of The Chew here in New York for September 11, 2013. I had a really great time watching them tape the show and I got to see Mario Batali and Gloria Estefan who I am a really big fan of. Gloria is quite delightful and filled with personality. Gloria was helping to make Chocolate Truffles which looked absolutely amazing and very easy do. I think that will be on my bucket list of things to make and blog about. Michael Symon, who is also a co-host was making Fluke Milanese which looked really good and quite easy to make. I didn’t have any fluke on hand, so my version is made with Tilapia. I also made mine a little different than he did. Tilapia is a very versatile white fish that goes great in any recipe. To see how I made tilapia milanese, keep reading.

About Tilapia Milanese
Deep-fried Tilapia Milanese recipe
This Italian-style deep-fried Tilapia recipe can be easily prepared in a matter of thirty minutes. The Milanese preparation involves dipping a thin fillet of fish in eggs, coating it with Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, and then pan-frying it until it is golden brown.
First, make the panko mixture. Place it in a single layer on a sheet pan. Heat it at 375 degrees for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Add the tilapia fillets to the panko mixture, then pat them into the crumbs to adhere. Then, place them on a plate lined with parchment paper. Preheat a 12-inch nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. Add a few fillets at a time and cook until they are golden brown.
