Pan Sauteed Tilapia


Last night I had to come up with a quick meal that was good look'in for spur of the moment company!

I quickly defrosted pre-packed Tilapia fish filets that took about 30 minutes or less.

I melted 1/2 block of butter in a frying pan and added chopped green onions and minced garlic and sauteed it on medium high.  I then seasoned the fish filets with the Roux Creole and Cajun seasoning mix on page 58.

I browned the tilapia with dashes of lemon juice on a high fire using two spatulas to turn the fish so it wouldn't break up.  I added 1/2 cup of water, covered it and let it steam for about five minutes.

Uncovered it and it was similiar to blackened Fish!  It was absolutely delicious!

While that was steaming, I cleaned two large brocolli bunches, placed them in a covered pyrex dish and "nuked" them for 10 minutes with 3/4 cup of water...poured off the water, seasoned with Kosher salt and cracked melange peppers and dollops of butter.

I cut up a french bread we just happened to have...found a bottle of wine...and voila...company arrived and the table had been set.  Bon Appetit
