Baked Tilapia with White Wine and Herbs

Baked Tilapia with White Wine and Herbs


Ingredients


■2 fresh Tilapia fish, approximately 8-10 oz. each, gutted and descaled. If buying fresh, ask the cutter at the seafood counter to do this free.
■1/4 pint of a white wine of your choosing
■4 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley and dills – you can change up the herbs. Almost any herbs will go well with this fish.
■1 to 2 finely chopped cloves of garlic,
■1/2 oz. butter
■6 diagonally sliced salid onions
■Salt and freshly ground black pepper – to taste
■1 teaspoon corn flour, add a little cold water and whisk
■2 tablespoons Crème fraîche, is similar to sour cream but less sour, thicker, cloud-like and has a higher fat content resulting in a creamy taste - you can find it in the grocery store.


Directions

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2.Put the Tilapia side by side in a lightly oiled oven proof dish.
3.Pour the wine on top of the Tilapia, and then sprinkle the garlic. Add most of the herbs and reserve the rest for when the fish comes out of the oven. Add onion, salt, and pepper to taste. Place about half the butter on each tilapia.
4.Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil with oil over the fish, then bake in the oven for about a half hour to 35 minutes.
5.Move the Tilapia to a serving dish.
6.Pour the fish fat from the oven dish into a saucepan, stir in the mixture of corn flour and water, and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the Crème fraîche and pour over the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the remaining herbs.

Serve hot.

Adding a squeeze of lemon juice will lighten up the dish but it is optional.
