COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

BAKE, BROIL OR PAN FRY

To Thaw: Remove loins from vacuum wrap. Place loins in bowl of cool water until completely thawed or place in refrigerator for 24 hours until thawed.

Simple Preparation Instructions: For best taste and texture, bake the tilapia loins.

Pan Fry: Fry a single layer of loins in a skillet with hot oil at 350°F until golden brown or until fish flakes easily. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and serve immediately.

Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place loins in lightly oiled shallow baking dish. Season with salt, pepper and butter or margarine. Bake 6 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness of loin until it is opaque throughout.

Broil: Preheat broiler. If desired, season fish with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Place pan containing fish 4 to 5 inches from heat and broil 6 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness of loin. Test flaking at thickest part of loin.

CAUTION: Contents will be hot. Heating times are approximate. They will vary due to the make, model and temperature calibration of your stove or oven.
