Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup Creole seasoning
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the tilapia fillets and set aside.
  2. In a shallow dish, add the flour. Dredge each tilapia fillet in the flour until it is lightly coated on all sides.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the Creole seasoning and white wine to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Add the dredged tilapia fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
