Octavio is the Spanish form of Octavius, derived from the Latin âoctavusâ meaning âeighthâ. Octavius was an ancient Roman family name mainly restricted to the plebian classes until being elevated to patrician status thanks to Emperor Augustus (born Gaius Octavius).
Favorite fillets include catfish, salmon, grouper, red snapper, and tilapia. For fillets or steaks, use a ruler to measure the thickness of the fish before cooking, then bake, uncovered, in the preheated 450 degrees F oven for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess seasoned flour and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place tilapia on a baking sheet that is lined with a paper grocery bag or paper towels and keep warm in the oven while you prepare the sauce.
