Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 1h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ear corn, shucked
1 avocado, diced
⅓ cup diced fresh tomato
¼ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
¼ cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
2 wedges lime, divided, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tilapia fillets
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 teaspoon chicken broth, or as needed
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place corn on the preheated grill and cook, turning often, until charred all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and remove kernels when cool enough to handle.
  • Combine corn kernels, avocado, tomato, black beans, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno in a large bowl. Squeeze 1 lime wedge over top and season with salt and pepper. Store in the refrigerator until cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season tilapia on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
  • Melt butter in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat; cook until just before butter begins to brown. Add tilapia and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Tilt the skillet and baste with the butter until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 more minutes. Remove fish from the skillet.
  • Pour chicken broth into the pan and scrape the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Whisk in cream. Squeeze in another lime wedge, then taste and adjust for your desired level of tanginess. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
  • Serve fish with cold salsa, adding cream sauce to both, if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Season your tilapia: Before cooking, season the tilapia fillets with a generous amount of Cajun seasoning. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and give it a nice crispy crust.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: To prevent the tilapia from sticking, use a non-stick skillet to cook it in. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with cooking spray.
  • Cook the tilapia over medium heat: Cooking the tilapia over medium heat will help to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the tilapia, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately: Once the tilapia is cooked, serve it immediately. The fish is best when it is hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Champagne Cajun Tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The fish is cooked in a flavorful sauce that is made with champagne, Cajun seasoning, and butter. The tilapia is served over rice, and it can be garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
