Ingredients

3 tablespoons Olive oil

2 cloves Garlic minced

1 pint Cherry tomatoes cut in half

1 cup Heavy cream

1 tablespoon Dried basil

3 Tilapia fillets

Sea salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

1/4 cup All purpose flour

1 Egg beaten

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder


Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Add the sliced cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and add cream. Let simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the basil, then add salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet large enough for the tilapia fillets. Rinse the tilapia fillets with water and pat dry. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper. Combine Parmesan, panko bread crumbs and garlic powder. Dredge the seasoned tilapia fillets in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Shake off excess. Next, dip the fillets in egg, then place into Parmesan/panko mixture. Ensure that the fillets are fully coated with the mixture. Place in heated skillet and cook 3-4 minutes per side. Fish will be golden brown and will flake easily when done. Serve fillets with sauce spooned over the top.

Used halibut because we don't eat talapia. Had to use a bit more oil in the pan than what the recipe called for to keep the fish from sticking. Add a little salt to the sauce. It was delicious.

Very good! Can put together very fast...on the table in about 25 minutes.

Delicious! Will definitely make again. The sauce does need to be watched

Simple and quick, a tasty way to prepare tilapia! I used fresh basil (because I have some in my garden), and I may try adding some shallots to the sauce next time...
