Real quick, easy, and fun dinner that can be put together quickly. We can get frozen tilapia that's only 40 mg of sodium per 4 ounces, and beer batter doesn't need salt really. A really tasty treat. Kids might like it, I know I do!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

An easy dinner that may get kids to eat fish. Once fried, the coating on the tilapia and onion rings is crispy. The ingredients only had garlic powder as a seasoning, and we were unsure of how that would work. Turns out, garlic powder is all that's needed in the batter.

How To Make easy beer battered tilapia w/ onion rings

1
In a mixing bowl, combine the first four ingredients.

2
Slice an onion into rings and set out the tilapia fillets.
3
Pour about 1" - 1 1/2" canola oil into a Dutch oven or 4 to 5-quart pot and set on medium heat. Dip the onion rings into the batter.
4
Make sure the oil is hot enough (approx 375 degrees), using tongs, place the onion rings in the hot oil (do not overcrowd). When they are light brown, they are ready (about 2 - 3 minutes).
5
Allow them to drain for a minute on paper towels.

Do the same with the tilapia fillets. Coat with the batter.

Fry tilapia fillets for approximately 3 minutes until golden brown.
