Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely minced
- 0.25 cup Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Season both sides of the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the tilapia fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Once the butter melts, add the finely minced shallots, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the dry white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet and let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Lower the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the tilapia fillets to the skillet and spoon the mustard cream sauce over the top to fully coat the fish.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, paired with rice, potatoes, or a fresh salad.
