"I asked a good friend to come over for dinner last night, and as she happily accepted my invitation, she made a special request: fish\u2014any kind, any way. Sounded simple enough, but the truth is that while I consider myself pretty well-rounded in the kitchen, I don&amp;#039;t know much about cooking fish. Still, I didn&amp;#039;t want to deny my friend her craving, so I told her we had a deal then set off to Whole Foods after work, puzzling over what to make the entire way there.     I decided the most fool-proof plan was to bread and fry a few tilapia fillets and serve them with some kind of dipping sauce on the side. Tartar sauce was the first thing that came to mind, so I scrambled around the crowded store grabbing all the necessary ingredients I could think of before heading home to prepare my fish feast. My sauce turned out to be a cross between a Mediterranean yogurt sauce and a classic tartar\u2014I diced some pickles, grated some onion and mashed a clove of garlic into a paste with the flat side of a knife before throwing the ingredients into a bowl with some salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne. Into that went a small container of 2% milkfat Greek yogurt. (It&amp;#039;s much better for you than mayonnaise, but still so creamy and delicious\u2014if you&amp;#039;ve never tasted it, try some for breakfast with fresh blueberries and honey on top.) Once that was done, I set about dipping the tilapia fillets into an egg wash before coating them with breadcrumbs. (I use Japanese panko breadcrumbs for frying just about everything\u2014they always make for a super-crunchy crust.) The fillets went into a hot pan coated with olive oil; each one needed about three to four minutes per side. Half an hour later we sat down to a plate of fried fish, Mediterranean-flavored couscous and a simple green salad. I think next time I&amp;#039;ll make the dipping sauce either a straight tartar or a traditional cucumber-yogurt sauce\u2014my taste buds got a little confused by the mix of ingredients. But all in all, I think the meal was a success. My friend declared everything delicious (you see why she&amp;#039;s a good friend?), and I got to face and conquer my fear of cooking fish\u2014at least for one night.\u2014Heidi Cho Want more ways with fish?
