1

Season one side of the tilapia fish with salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika.

2

Rub the seasonings into the fish and then turn it over to season the other side.

3

Coat the seasoned fish in flour, using the dampness of the fish to help the flour stick.

4

Shake off the excess flour and set the fish aside for about 3 to 5 minutes while the oil preheats.

5

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

6

Add the flour-coated fish to the frying pan, frying for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

7

Check the fish and flip it over gently to avoid splattering oil.

8

Fry about two pieces of fish at a time, allowing them to shrink slightly as they cook.

9

Use a paper towel to drain the oil after frying the fish.

10

Plate the crispy, golden-brown fish and serve.
