Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets, fresh
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
black pepper, to taste
1 bunch cilantro

Tips for Making Tilapia with Cilantro Cream Sauce:

- To ensure the tilapia is cooked evenly, use a non-stick skillet and cook it over medium heat. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tilapia. If necessary, cook the fish in batches. - The cilantro cream sauce is best made with fresh cilantro. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but reduce the amount by half. - If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half. However, the sauce will be thinner. - Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as desired. - Serve the tilapia with rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Tilapia with Cilantro Cream Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is cooked in a flavorful cilantro cream sauce that is made with fresh cilantro, heavy cream, garlic, and onion. The dish is served over rice, pasta, or vegetables.
