1

Clean and gut 5 tilapia, removing scales and gills, and rinse under cold water.

2

Pat the tilapia dry with paper towels.

3

Make deep cuts on the sides of the tilapia for marinating.

4

Marinate the tilapia with a little lime juice, garlic, and salt, allowing to sit for at least 30 minutes.

5

Coat the tilapia in flour to prevent sticking during frying.

6

Heat oil in a small skillet until hot but not smoking.

7

Carefully add the tilapia to the hot oil, frying until golden brown on one side before flipping.

8

Only flip the tilapia once it is golden brown to avoid breaking it apart.

Remove the tilapia and drain on paper towels after frying.

10

Serve the tilapia with patacones, rice, avocado, and a side salad, garnished with lime.
