Of course, you can replace tilapia with fresh cod, catfish, trout, salmon, mackerel, among others.

Cajun Seasoning: You can substitute this seasoning mix for Italian seasoning, taco seasoning, or any other seasoning of your choice.
Other Seasonings and Spices: In addition to Cajun seasoning , I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano. Since tilapia is a mild fish, I thought these extra seasonings would further enhance the flavor of the Cajun seasoning mix. Chili powder, Parmesan cheese, onion powder, and lemon zest are some you can add or use as a substitute in this recipe.
Lemon: Any fish or shellfish requires acidity. Lemon juice is the perfect complement to bring out all the flavors.
​Olive oil: Use it to grease the oilless fryer basket. It is essential to prevent the fish from sticking to the basket during cooking.
