Recipe: Broiled Tilapia Filets with Cajun Cream Sauce

Submitted by: Andrea Austin

This recipe is a big hit at my house. If you haven't had tilapia, I highly recommend it. It's a meaty fish without the harsh "fish" taste...very mild. We get the fresh tilapia filets from Costco which are normally quite large. The sauce makes enough for 2 - 4 servings.

Category: Entree
Servings: 2 - 4
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
• 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
• 2 Tablespoons Flour
• 1 Pint Heavy Cream
• Cajun Seasoning (To Taste)
• 4 Medium/Large Tilapia Filets
• 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil (or comparable oil)

Directions

• Set Oven to Broil
• On a broiling pan lined with aluminum foil, brush the tilapia filets front and back with olive oil
• Lightly sprinkle one side of the filets with cajun seasoning
• Put filets, seasoning side up on the pan and broil in oven until meat is cooked and flakes with a fork (about 10 minutes)
• While fish is cooking: In a medium saucepan on medium heat, melt 1 Tablespoon of butter.
• Add the minced garlic and bring to a sizzle and stir constantly for about 1 minute
• Reduce heat to low and add the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter and the flour
• Using a wire whisk, blend the butter, garlic and flour until it is fully combined and texture is like a runny paste
• Raise heat to medium and add the heavy cream, whisking the flour mixture and cream together (The sauce will gradually thicken as you whisk. For thicker sauce, add flour a teaspoon at a time and whisk for desired thickness.)
• Sprinkle cajun seasoning in the sauce to taste (I use about a Tablespoon or so)

To Serve:

• Place 2 filets on a plate and drizzle 1/4 - 1/2 of the sauce over top. Repeat for remaining servings
• Serve with roasted vegetables, salad, etc.
• Enjoy!
