Garlic, Parmesan and Lemon Tilapia

½ stick butter

½ cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic minced

½ cup parmesan cheese

½ cup dried bread crumbs

1 tsp sea salt

zest of 2 lemons

all-purpose flour

2 eggs, beaten

4 tilapia fillets

juice of 2 lemons

Dip fish in egg mixture, then flour, then egg again and lastly bread crumb mixture. Melt butter in frying pan, add olive oil and sautee garlic over medium heat until it begins to become golden - DO NOT OVER BROWN GARLIC. Add prepared fillets, cook on medium heat about 2-3 minutes on each side. Pour juice of 2 lemons over top of fish. Remove fish to warmed platter and pour remaining mixture in pan over fish. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve immediately.

This is an experiment I tried tonight and it turned out really well -- YUM! Hope you like it!
