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
•
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
•
2 tablespoons salted butter
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
•
1/2 cup chopped onion
•
1/4 cup white cooking wine, or more as needed
•
1/4 cup capers
Directions
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
