Without the shrimp, this is my adaptation of Ruby Tuesday’s New Orleans Seafood. I created this dish by combining several distinct recipes. It’s really close to that! The usual serving size for my husband, my child, and myself is three fillets. To truly make this taste like Ruby Tuesday’s dish, I serve it with rice and steamed broccoli.

Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Brush the tilapia fillets with oil on both sides, season with Creole seasoning to taste, then place into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the flesh is no longer translucent, and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic has softened and the aroma has mellowed, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Alfredo sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and keep warm until the fish is ready. Pour the sauce over the fish to serve. Sprinkle with additional Creole seasoning if desired.

Tilapia is a very boring fish but this recipe was very good. Easy and quick to make.
We were not fan of too much creole seasoning. Will try again without it. I prepared my own alfredo sauce which I typically use for fettuccine alfredo which I believe is a healthier option.
The baking instructions for the tilapia were perfect, and ones I’ll definitely use again. The instructions for the sauce are probably good, but I made one fatal error: I used Garlic Alfredo Sauce and assumed that since it wasn’t very strongly flavored, I could just cut the added garlic in half and it would be fine. Now the whole house smells like garlic and the four of us barely touched the sauce. Next time I think I’ll make my own *unflavored* alfredo sauce.
I substituted cajun seasoning for the creole seasoning. Really good!
.
really good if you add in peppers and onions to the fish and fry it in olive oil with extra creole seasoning. There’s a recipe for creole seasoning in this app
There aren’t enough stars to rate this! EASY AND SO GOOD!
Delicious! I subbed step four for making my own alfredo like other reviewers.
So easy to make and so good!!
This is really, really good and easy. I’ve used this sauce on a few different kinds of fish, and it’s always good.
Turned out great. I’d go easy on the creole though.
Delicious
made it as directed. Big crowd pleaser. Made it with a thin Alfredo sauce made with olive oil, flour, chopped sun dried tomato, Parmesan cheese and milk. Broke up the fish and tossed with whole wheat pasta and peas. Easy and delicious.
Didn’t think I would like it, but it is tasty.
I have bad digestion and this was super flavorful and delicious but also light. it cooked fast and was easy to make. I highly recommend this recipe.:)
Really good base recipe! I tossed it with rigatoni, asparagus, bell pepper, shrimp, and imitation crab and my family loved it.
This was delicious! I made it exactly as the recipe and video describes and I would make the following changes: I would omit the butter and sauté the garlic in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, then brush the garlic oil over the filets. I would use the creole seasoning more sparingly that shown in the video and I would use less Alfredo sauce and dilute it with some milk or water. The flavors were great together! We had it with a Caesar salad and U can’t wait to make it again!
It was so easy to make for someone who is always in the go. Literally took fifteen minutes to make. I used Cajun seasoning because I couldn’t find creole, but tastes a smells just fine.
It was ok but husband didn’t care for it. I won’t make again
This was really good. Meets my reqs. of quick and easy. Didn’t use the creole seasoning.
Living in south Louisiana we eat a lot of fish. I have never used garlic Alfredo on any fish. I made the sauce using 1/3 stick of butter with a little oil, about a tsp of minced garlic, evaporated milk and a handful of shredded Parmesan/Romano blend. I baked Cajun seasoned (one side only) catfish filets in a dish at 450 degrees for about 20 mins until done, then poured the sauce on the fish. This is a great recipe for catfish filets. It’s quick, easy, and there wasn’t a bit of the fish left over. Also good is that it requires only a baking dish and a skillet to prepare. Already looking forward to the next time.
