FISH N GRITS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over high heat, bring water to a boil. Add grits, stir, and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 15 to 18 minutes or until grits are softened, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine Fish Seasoning ingredients; mix well. Sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of fish, patting seasoning lightly onto fish. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Sauté fish (in batches, if necessary) 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Cut each piece of fish in half down the center.
• Remove the grits from heat and add cheese, butter, salt, and pepper; stir until cheese and butter are melted. Evenly divide grits into 4 bowls and top each with 2 pieces of tilapia. Serve immediately.
