Pan Fried Masala Tilapia (Edit recipe)

Pan fried Tilapia is probably the quickest and easiest entrée to make. While I like to marinate mine with Indian spices for atleast an hour or two, you can totally skip the waiting if you are short on time... Tilapia is quite forgiving that way! Due to its almost neutral taste, it absorbs flavors very well and even those who don't like fish due to its fishy smell/ taste, enjoy this dish. There is no breading involved and you only need a handful of spices to make this dish. It's Whole30, gluten-free and dairy-free. Hope you enjoy!
