Wash and dry the tilapia fillets.
Dredge in flour, shaking off excess flour. Sprinkle lightly with cayenne.
Heat oil and butter. Fry the fillets over moderate heat, turning once and seasoning with the salt, until they are nicely browned and crisp. Tilapia is hard to overcook in our experience.
Serve over brown rice with the nicely browned “butter” poured over.
