My version of Ruby Tuesday's New Orleans Seafood, minus the shrimp. I merged a few different recipes and came up with this. It comes pretty close! Three fillets are usually enough for my husband, my toddler, and myself. I serve this with rice and steamed broccoli, to really feel like Ruby Tuesday's recipe!

Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil

This is my version of Ruby Tuesday's New Orleans Tilapia. Tilapia fillets are baked then topped with alfredo sauce, sauteed red peppers and garlic cooked shrimp. I'm not very good at copycatting recipes, but we had this last night and it was mighty fine.

Time 25m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets
1/2 cup white flour
2 ounces melted margarine
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup diced jalapeno
1 cup chopped de-stemmed spinach
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 pinch garlic salt
4 ounces heavy cream
1/4 cup lemon butter
5 ounces angel hair pasta
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
1/8 cup diced roma tomato

Steps:

Dredge the tilapia filets in the flour, and add them with the melted margarine and garlic to a medium temperature sauté pan.
Once the tilapia has finished cooking on one side, flip them over and add the jalapenos, spinach, salt, pepper, and garlic salt.
Prepare the angel hair in boiling water, and allow it to cook for 3 to 4 minutes depending on the temperature of the water.
As the filets begin to flake, add the heavy cream, and bring it to a slight boil.
Once the cream begins to boil, remove the pan from the fire and reduce the lemon butter into the sauce.
Place the pasta in a bowl, and pour the fish with the sauce over the pasta.
Garnish with fresh roma tomatoes and parsley.

Tips:

To ensure the fish cooks evenly, use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease a regular skillet with cooking spray.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the tilapia. If you're cooking multiple fillets, cook them in batches to prevent them from steaming instead of searing.
To achieve a crispy crust on the tilapia, cook it over medium-high heat until golden brown before reducing the heat to medium-low.
The Alfredo sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat the sauce over low heat until warmed through.
If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
For a richer Alfredo sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
To add a pop of color and flavor to the dish, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Conclusion:

Garlic Alfredo Tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is coated in a flavorful garlic and herb breadcrumb mixture before being pan-fried until golden brown. The creamy Alfredo sauce is made with white wine, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Serve the tilapia over the Alfredo sauce with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
