Due to popular demand (on Twitter of all places), here is my recipe for Pan seared talapia with cream sauce:
Caveat: I don’t really measure my ingredients. I do a lot of “eyeballing” so these sizes aren’t the most precise.
Ingredients:
- Talapia fillets (2)
- Olive oil
- Shredded Parmesan cheese (1/3 cup)
- Sea salt
- Cracked pepper
- Garlic powder
- Oregano
- Lemon juice
- Sour cream (1 cup)
- Scallions/Green onions (1/2 cup), chopped
- Portobello mushrooms (1 cup), diced
- Cherry tomatoes (handful), slice half of them and set the whole ones aside
- Crumbled bacon (1/2 cup)
- Butter (3/4 of a stick)
- Asparagus (1/2 cup), diced
Here we go:
Coat a large skillet with oilive oil and 2 tbsp. of butter. Heat on medium-high.
Brush fillets with oilive oil and butter. Season by lightly sprinkling with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
Cook fillets appoximately 2 minutes on each side. Add 1 tbsp. of lemon juice to fish, once before turning and once before removing.
Heat another skillet on med-high heat. In it, melt 4 tbsp. (half a stick) of butter. Wait until butter begins to brown.
Add diced portobello mushrooms. Cook until golden brown.
Add asparagus… sear in the pan for 1 - 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Next, add all of the remaining ingredients (except for the sour cream): sliced cherry tomatoes (not the whole ones), asparagus, bacon, scallions, and cheese.
Reduce heat to med-low.
Add 1 tbsp. of butter, 2 tbsp. of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add in the sour cream and stir thoroughly.
Remove fillets and drizzle cream sauce over them. Add the remaining whole cherry tomatoes. Lightly sprinkle plate with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Enjoy.

Word! You was throwin’ down huh? LOL! Is that cream sauce your original recipe? If so, that’s very impressive. I will SO be trying this next week. Joey will let you know how it turns out I guess.
Thanks for posting! Looks yummy!

@The Mrs. - Haha… I was trying to do a little “sumthin, sumthin.” And yes, that cream sauce recipe is an original. It was my first time trying it so I’ll be playing around and refining it even more in the days ahead.
This is neat. I was thinking about what to make myself for today, I think I just might as well make me some pan-seared talapia. I think the gf would enjoy it.
Just stumbled and submitted your site to Viralogy. Hope you get some great traffic from it.

Seems pretty straightforward. I think I’ll try it out today - I love talapia!
I just realized how hungry I am. Thanks …
Anyway, do you think this would work as well without onions ? I really can’t stand them.

The recipe looks easy to make but there are so many ingredients that I’m not sure is it so easy to purchase them all and use in proper way. Good that you described the method very carefully and it will be great help in putting all the ingredients together. I hope I’ll manage to do it.
This looks delicious, but for me any recipe could be very difficult. My wife can do miracles in kitchen but I have two left hands and I would probably destroy your flagship among meals.
Yummy. I like the first impression of that meal. It looks tasty and surely is tasty. I like when my food do not only tastes good but also looks good. I don’t like to eat meals that look like something someone eaten already.
