Tilapia in Mustard Cream Sauce image

This was a delightful surprise! The wine reduction sauce is full of flavor and a great complement to the mild tilapia. The mustard and Italian dressing give it a zesty and tangy flavor, but the cream balances it out. The sauce is also very rich so a little bit goes a long way. Capers add a touch of savoriness to the dish....

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

8-10 medium tilapia fillets
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced
2 c onion, sliced
3 c mushrooms, sliced
1 c dry white wine
3/4 c zesty Italian dressing (bottled)
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp Dijon or beer mustard
1/4 c heavy cream
3 Tbsp capers

Steps:

  • 1. Carefully wash tilapia, pat dry with paper towels, set aside.
  • 2. Place olive oil into large heavy bottomed frying pan. Saute garlic for 30 seconds over medium high heat then add onions, stir frequently. When onions are translucent add mushrooms and saute an additional 2 minutes.
  • 3. Reduce heat to medium. Carefully place tilapia on top of sauteed vegetables. Allow them to steam-cook for 2 minutes. You may need to add a little water to make sure the fish steams.
  • 4. Carefully turn the fish to steam the other side for 2 minutes.
  • 5. Place the tilapia in an oven-proof dish, cover and place in the oven, just to keep warm.
  • 6. Meanwhile, increase the heat under the vegetables, to medium-high. Add wine and allow the liquid to evaporate.
  • 7. Add Italian dressing and reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • 8. Add mustard, stir until blended.
  • 9. Add cream.
  • 10. Stir until blended. Note: Do not boil as the cream will separate.
  • 11. Return tilapia to pan and heat until fish is hot.
  • 12. Add capers.
