-
Prepare the Tomatillo Cream Sauce.
Keep warm until serving time. - Heat up 1 tbsp. of olive oil.
- Season the fish on both sides with S&P, dill.
- Arrange the fish fillets in the hot oil. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Turn over the fillets with a wide spatula.
-
Reduce heat to avoid drying out the fish or having it fall apart on you.
The fish is almost ready when it starts to separate.
If you want a whole fillet on your plate, warm the sauce separately. -
Arrange the fish fillet on a plate and smother it with the tomatillo sauce.
Smother in the plate, not the frying pan as shown in Pic3. Tilapia tends to breaks up quite easily. -
Serve immediately.
- I served this with boiled potatoes with some chopped parsley as garnish.
