My husband says this dish reminds of him of bacon wrapped scallops. It has that savory, yet slightly sweet taste. Quick and easy to make. I initially planned to wrap the filets with the bacon, but the bacon cooked up to fast and so I just finished it in the pan with the filets. Ingredients:
4 tilapia fillets, thawed |
5 -6 slices bacon |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 -2 tablespoon butter |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat a medium-large sized pan to medium heat.
2. Cook the slices of the bacon in the microwave to HALF done - about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add your butter to the pan, melt, then add the bacon.
4. Moisten your tilapia filets slightly and sprinkly or rub a some of the brown sugar on them. Add the filets to the pan, laying them on top of the bacon.
5. Sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar on the other side of the tilapia, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Cook about 3-4 minutes.
7. Flip, bacon and all to cook the other side (tilapia on bottom, bacon on top) until fish flakes and is cook through.
