Tilapia with Orange Tarragon Sauce for Two
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons shallots minced
- 1/2 cup orange juice fresh
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 2 teaspoons tarragon leaves fresh, minced
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 pound tilapia or other delicate white fish, fillets
- 1 tablespoon flour, all-purpose for dredging
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- PREPARE THE FISH
- Dry the fish fillets well with paper toweling.
- Season with salt and pepper and allow to stand for 5 minutes to draw out some moisture.
- MAKE THE SAUCE
- In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced shallot and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to color.
- Add the orange juice and vinegar, increase heat and bring to the boil.
- Cook until reduced to just over 1/4 of a cup, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cream and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and add the butter and tarragon.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
- Cover to keep warm, stirring every minute or so.
- SAUTE THE FISH
- Dredge the fish fillets in flour and shake off any excess.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- If there are any thin tail parts, score and tuck tail under the fillet to make them evenly sized.
- Add the fillets to the skillet and reduce heat to medium.
- Cook without moving until the bottom of the fillets are golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes (depending on size of the fillets).
- Carefully flip the fillets and cook until firm to the touch and the fillet flakes easily, about one minute.
- Place some of the orange tarragon sauce on the plate, top with fish fillet.
- Serve with a rice pilaf with extra sauce as desired.
