Sauteed Tilapia Fillets With Garlic Butter Sauce Recipes

SAUTEED TILAPIA FILLETS WITH GARLIC-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the milk in a shallow dish. Place the cornmeal (seasoned with salt and pepper, as desired) in another shallow dish. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dip the tilapia fillets first in the milk, turning to coat them completely. Next, dredge them in the cornmeal, pressing the cornmeal so it adheres. Place the coated tilapia in the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until well browned. Transfer the fish to a platter and keep warm. Combine the garlic, butter, lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant. Spoon the garlic-butter sauce over the fish and serve immediately garnished with the parsley.

• Then in a non-stick skillet or wok, sautee the butter, garlic, garlic wine vinegar and mushrooms on medium heat [#4 or #5] covered with a lid for about 3-5 minutes or until the aroma of the wine vinegar and garlic are strong in fragrance. Next place the fillets in the skillet with the garlic and mushrooms. Do not change the heat setting. Cook on one side for about 8 minutes covered. Check for firmness. Then turn over the fillets and cook for about 2 more minutes covered.
• Once finished, remove from heat and serve immediately. The sauce leftover with the sauteed garlic and mushrooms can be served on top of the fillets.
