This recipe is a hit with my family! It is a terrific way to warm up your entire body on a snowy day and is VERY inexpensive. Over rice, please.

Ingredients
- 4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia fillets, or more to taste
- 1 pinch Cajun seasoning, or to taste
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup white cooking wine, or more as needed
- ¼ cup capers
Instructions
- Dry tilapia fillets and cut each in half. Season each fillet with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dredge in flour to coat, shaking off excess.
- Melt butter and oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry fish quickly, working in batches if needed, until edges appear white, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until easily flaked with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
- Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour white wine into the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer until reduced by about half, 5 to 7 minutes. Drizzle sauce over fish before serving and garnish with capers.

Excellent! I made it the same except for the capers, which I don’t keep in my pantry. A delicious way to enjoy tilapia.
