By

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. tilapia fillets
  • 1/2 cup flour seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped shallots
  • 2 Tbsp. dry sherry
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped green onions

Preparation

Step 1

Dust fillets in seasoned flour and cook in butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned on both sides; remove.

Add shallots to the pan and cook until soft, stirring occasionally; add sherry and stir rapidly to remove all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in cream and cook until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, approx. 2 minutes.

Remove the pan from heat, add mustard and stir until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place fillets on warmed plates, spoon sauce over each serving and garnish with green onions.
