Ingredients

  • 8 to 10 tilapia fillets

  • 1 lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup cornmeal (tea)

  • 1 cup wheat flour (tea)

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (coffee)

  • 2 spoons (coffee) of lemon pepper

  • 2 spoons (coffee) of salt

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • Black pepper to taste

Directions

  • Place the tilapia fillets in a bowl and season with lemon pepper, salt, lemon juice, crushed garlic cloves and black pepper to taste.
