Pan Seared Tilapia In White Wine Lemon Sauce Recipe 415

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.

Steps:

• To make the salsa: Stir the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro together in a small bowl. Stir in the lime juice, olive oil and chile. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the fish.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Pour enough canola oil into a large frying pan to generously coat the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
• While the oil is heating, season as many of the fillets as will fit in the pan comfortably with salt and pepper. Dredge the seasoned fillets in flour to coat both sides and shake off the excess flour. Carefully slip the coated snapper into the hot oil and give the pan a little shake to prevent sticking. Cook until lightly golden on the underside side, about 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and cook until the thickest part of the fillets are opaque at the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining fillets, adding more oil to the pan, if necessary.
• Serve warm, passing the tomato salsa separately.

Steps:

• Rinse tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the tilapia in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the tilapia in the last minute before removing from the skillet. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients, stir­ring well with a whisk; set aside.
• Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Dredge fillets lightly in flour, and coat both sides of fillets with cooking spray.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fillets; cook 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; turn fillets, and cook 3 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from pan.
• Add wine mixture to pan; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted. Spoon wine mixture over fillets; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat wine, lemon juice and shallots to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil uncovered 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half.
• Add whipping cream to pan and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Boil uncovered 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from heat and add lemon peel. Beat in butter, 1 piece at a time, with wire whisk, adding the next piece only after the first has been completely beaten in and melted. When all of the butter has been beaten in, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and the white pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.
• In 12-inch skillet (preferably nonstick), heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot. Add fish and cook 3 minutes. Flip and cook 3 minutes longer or until edges begin to brown and fish flakes easily with fork.
• To serve, spoon sauce over fish and sprinkle with nuts.
