Tips:
- Choose the freshest tilapia fillets you can find. Fresh tilapia will have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid fillets that are limp or have a strong fishy smell.
- Season the tilapia fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat until they are cooked through. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Make sure the cream sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If the sauce is too thin, it will not adhere to the tilapia fillets.
- Serve the tilapia fillets immediately with the creamy sauce. Tilapia is best enjoyed when it is freshly cooked.
