  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and fish.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Tilapia is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The white wine you use in this recipe should be one that you would enjoy drinking on its own. A dry, unoaked Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc works well.
  • Serve immediately. Tilapia Florentine is best served immediately after it is cooked. The fish will start to lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.
