Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the tilapia fillets dry before seasoning them to ensure a crispy sear.
• Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the tilapia fillets, as this can prevent them from searing properly.
• If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the lemon pepper seasoning.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover seared lemon pepper tilapia can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the tilapia fillets in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
• Serve the reheated tilapia with fresh lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
