GARLIC ALFREDO TILAPIA



Garlic Alfredo Tilapia image

My version of Ruby Tuesday's New Orleans Seafood, minus the shrimp. I merged a few different recipes and came up with this. It comes pretty close! Three fillets are usually enough for my husband, my toddler, and myself. I serve this with rice and steamed broccoli, to really feel like Ruby Tuesday's recipe!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Season your tilapia generously: Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to give it a flavorful crust.
  • Cook the tilapia over medium heat: Cooking the tilapia over medium heat will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking multiple pieces of tilapia, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly.
  • Make sure the tilapia is cooked through: The tilapia is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. If you're not sure if it's done, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately: Tilapia is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will help it retain its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Tilapia Creole sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is cooked in a flavorful Creole sauce that's made with tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and spices. Serve the tilapia with rice, potatoes, or vegetables for a complete meal.
