Jeannie's Kickin' Fried Fish

Beat the egg with milk in a shallow bowl.

In another shallow bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, roasted onion flakes, garlic, blackened seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sea salt.

Dip a tilapia fillet into the egg mixture, then press gently into the crumb mixture on both sides; set the coated fillet onto a plate.

Repeat with remaining fillets; refrigerate the coated fillets for about 15 minutes to help set the crumbs.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a cast-iron frying pan over medium heat.

Lay the fillets into the skillet, and pan-fry until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side.

The fish should be opaque and flaky underneath the coating.

Remove and drain fillets on paper towels.
