PAN SEARED TILAPIA IN WHITE WINE LEMON SAUCE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Pan Seared Tilapia in White Wine Lemon Sauce Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-30688

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 frozen or fresh tilapia fillet
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup white wine
1 pat of butter
1 tablespoon seasoning salt, such as Mrs. Dash
Sea salt, to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut the tilapia fillet in half so you have two smaller pieces. Make sure to really pat the fish down with the paper towel so that you get a really good sear. It should be relatively dry to the touch (or as dry as possible for a fish to be.) Dredge the two pieces lightly in the flour and shake off the rest. It should just be a thin white dusting of flour. Now season each side with seasoning salt and put to the side. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and place the fish in. Season the fish with the sea salt and sear on both sides until the fish develops a nice brown color and is white in the center. Now splash in the white wine and the butter and stir around. The sauce will thicken very quickly due to the fish being dusted in the flour. Remove the fish from the pan, pour sauce over fish, and squeeze with some lemon for a burst of freshness. I served my fish with a salad made of arugula, red onion sliced thinly, and some toasted almonds. I whipped up a quick vinaigrette (balsamic vinegar, olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper). This recipe is super healthy and extra delicious.

  • If you are using frozen tilapia, thaw it completely before cooking. The best way to do this is to place the fish in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes, or until it is completely thawed.
  • Season the tilapia with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to cook the tilapia. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and breaking apart.
  • Cook the tilapia over medium heat. This will help to ensure that the fish cooks evenly without overcooking.
  • Baste the tilapia with the white wine sauce while it is cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the tilapia with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or potatoes.
