Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cups Dry white wine
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herbs variety)
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced into wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each tilapia fillet in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour-dusted tilapia fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them on a plate covered with foil to keep warm.
Add the butter to the same skillet and let it melt. Stir in the diced shallots and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the wine reduce slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for another minute. Add the Boursin cheese, stirring until it melts and fully incorporates into the sauce.
Lower the heat and gradually stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked tilapia fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fillets to coat them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve the tilapia immediately with lemon wedges on the side for garnish. The dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
