Here are pictures from us cooking this recipe
We gathered all of our cooking items. We did not take pictures of coking the tilapia in the oven.
To cook the fish, first season both sides with salt and pepper. Place fillets on a lightly coated baking sheet. Cook in a preheat 400 degree oven for 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
In a mixing bowl we combined: mayo, mustsard, eggs, parsley, tyme, and dill weed.
Using a fork, shred the talipia fillets into fine flakes.
Add the fish to the mixture and gentally fold in.
Form the mixture into 6 even sized patties and place on wax paper and a plate. Cover with more wax paper.
Place fish in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to help firm up the patties.
You can see that the patties will firm up nicely and slightly darken in color.
In a large skilet heat the oil for frying. Fry on the first side for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Flip over and fry on the second side for 2 to 3 more minutes. Drain on a papper towel before serving.
