Simple Pan-Seared Tilapia

Cook and Sauce Tilapia

Pat the tilapia fillets dry and cut each one in half. Sprinkle them with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper, then lightly coat each piece with flour, shaking off any extra. Heat a mix of butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish in batches if needed, frying each side for about 3 to 4 minutes until the edges turn white and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Once cooked, transfer the fish to a plate and keep it warm. In the same pan, sauté the onion over medium-high heat until it softens, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, lower the heat, and let it simmer until the liquid reduces by half, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with capers, and serve.
