Fresh Tilapia Croquettes

Ingredients:
1/3 Cup divided tartar sauce
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp grated lime peel
4 4-oz. fresh tilapia fillets
1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 Cups breadcrumbs
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1 Large clove garlic, minced
2 Tsp. lemon pepper

Directions:
Stir together tartar sauce, lime juice and peel.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons of the butter. Cook the fillets for 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes with a fork. Flake the fish fillets and place in large bowl. Add 1/3 cup of the tartar sauce mixture, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic and lemon pepper, stirring gently to combine ingredients. Shape into 6 patties.
Cook patties in batches in remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Recipe Source: Super market cards.

Amendment: This was quite tasty but there wasn't enough citrus. I also suggest serving with a dipping sauce like cocktail or hollandaise sauce. would also work with cod or another light white fish.
