Fish and Marinade

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine lemon juice, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well and add the tilapia fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully add the marinated tilapia fillets to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the deep-fried tilapia with your choice of Fufu, Rice, or Nsima on the side.
