Pan Fried Tilapia with White Sauce

First, wash the tilapia fillets and pat them thoroughly dry. In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk the 6 eggs. In another shallow bowl, combine the Italian style breadcrumbs with the seasoned salt, cajun seasoning, paprika, onion powder, lemon pepper, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip each tilapia fillet first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well to all sides.

Heat 1 and 1/2 cups of oil in a large frying pan over medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded tilapia fillets into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. You may need to fry them in batches. Fry each side for about 4 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cooked fish from the pan and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

For the white sauce, combine the 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon dill relish, 1 tablespoon mustard, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, the juice of half a lemon, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Stir all ingredients together until well combined. Serve the pan-fried tilapia immediately with the delicious white sauce, optionally alongside red rice.
