Directions

  1. Combine cabbage, carrot, apple, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice for slaw in a bowl. Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, ketchup, and salt for sauce in a separate bowl.

  2. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Place beaten egg in a second bowl. Combine panko, cumin, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.

  3. Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.

  4. While oil is heating, clean and dry tilapia and cut into 2-inch pieces. Dredge in flour, then egg, then panko mixture.

  5. Lower fish carefully into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
