Method
-
In a 10- to 12-inch, heavy, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.
-
Add the scallions and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're just golden, with some green still visible on the scallions, 2 to 4 minutes.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat, and with a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to paper towels to drain (leave the oil in the skillet).
-
Toss the ginger and scallions lightly with salt.
-
Line up three wide shallow dishes. Put the flour in the first; beat the egg in the second; put the peanuts in the third.
-
Season the tilapia fillets with salt.
-
Dredge one fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess.
-
Dip the fillet in the egg, then coat it with the nuts.
-
Set the fillet on a plate and repeat with the second fillet.
-
Reheat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the tilapia fillets and cook until golden on each side and the flesh is opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side (reduce the heat if they brown too fast).
-
Put the tilapia on dinner plates. If using the beurre blanc, ring the fish with a pool of sauce. Lightly drizzle with the Pomegranate vinegar and grind pepper to taste, top with the frizzled vegetables, and serve immediately.
