1 1/3 cups favorite spaghetti sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons half & half
Four 4-5 ounce Tilapia fillets
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups Panko crumbs
1 teaspoon salt-free Italian Seasoning
Freshly grated Parmesan
.
In a medium sauce pan, over medium-low heat, bring the sauce and garlic to a simmer. Stirring occasionally, allow to cook until reduced by half. The sauce will become dark red and thick. Stir in the cream and heat through. Keep warm.
Rinse and dry the tilapia fillets and set aside.
In three pie plates or shallow dishes, place the flour, salt and pepper in one, the beaten egg in another, and the crumbs mixed with the seasoning in the third. Coat each fillet with the flour mixture, dip in egg until covered, and then press on the crumbs.
Heat a frying pan on medium to medium-high heat until very hot. (Will depend on YOUR stove. Mine is very hot on medium.) Add a little olive oil and fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy-golden and fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove to a platter and spoon the sauce over. Garnish with Parmesan. Makes 4 servings.
