This is so good I never have time to take a picture! Super quick and easy to prepare, using things you probably already have in your refrigerator. And, you can polish off that bottle of wine you use in the recipe after dinner!
Ingredients
- Two Large Tilapia Filets
- 4 Tblsp. Margarine
- 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Onion
- 1/4 Tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1/4 Tsp. Salt
- 1/4 Tsp. Black Pepper
- 1/8 Tsp. Basil
- 1 cup White Wine
- 1 Tblsp. Corn Starch, mixed with water.
- 1/4 cup Whipping Cream
Directions
- Add corn starch and just enough water to make it liquid to a sealed container and shake vigorously. (This is a great job for an energetic toddler or a rambunctious dog.) Set aside.
- Melt margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. (You can use butter, but it may scorch. Just sayin’!)
- Add onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and basil, and saute until onions are translucent.
- Add half the white wine and cook until bubbly, just a minute or two, while stirring.
- Lay tilapia filets on top of onion mixture and cover skillet.
- Remove lid after tilapia has JUST turned completely white, and turn filets. Re-cover skillet.
- Cook two to four minutes more, depending upon thickness of filets. Don’t overcook fish, people!
- Remove filets and transfer to serving plates.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining white wine to skillet. Cook until bubbly.
- Re-shake corn starch mixture and add to skillet, cooking everything until thickened. It will be quite thick and lumpy.
- Add whipping cream and stir in completely.
- If sauce is too thick add a bit more white wine.
- Pour wine and cream mixture over fish and serve.
- Get out the ingredients and make it again, because everyone will love it and you will HAVE to make more!
