4-Ingredient Pan-fried Ranch Tilapia Recipe: A Tasty 15-Minute Fish Dinner

If dry ranch salad dressing mix makes chicken taste so amazing (check out this ranch baked chicken recipe), I wondered how it would do with fish. The verdict? Delicious!

This easy tilapia recipe has a simple coating of breadcrumbs and dry ranch dressing, then is quickly pan-fried in olive oil. The result is a flavorful, crispy piece of fish. 

If you're not a fan of tilapia, use your favorite fish like cod, haddock, halibut or even salmon. Serve this fast family dinner recipe with a vegetable and a salad
