Ingredients you need for the Pan-Seared Tilapia in Tomato Basil Sauce
Directions
For the Tomato Basil Sauce:
1. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper flakes and garlic and saute for 1 minute, or until garlic is fragrant.
2. Add the cherry tomatoes and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and blistering, but still hold their shape, about 12 minutes. Add in the vegetable stock, stir, and allow the mixture to come to a light simmer.
3. Stir in the basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the sauce into a large bowl and set aside for later
For the Tilapia:
1. Heat oil in the same pan over medium heat. Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Place tilapia fillets in the oil and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on both side, until it’s cooked through.
2. Pour the tomato basil sauce over the fish and reheat quickly. Serve all at once at once with additional chopped basil and rice, or cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles. Enjoy! ♥︎

Here are a few tips for cooking fish perfectly every time:
- How to freshen up frozen fish: Cover the frozen fish in milk until it thaws completely, then cook according to your recipe. The fish will taste fresher and your guests will never know it was frozen.
- If you’re cooking fish and it comes out too dry, brush it with a mixture of equal parts melted butter and lemon juice and some fresh herbs. The butter will help make it moister, while the lemon juice will help it hold together and cause your guests to salivate. Chance are they won’t notice your cooking error.
- For more crunch with fewer calories, use cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs to coat your fish fillets. Cornflakes contain fewer calories than breadcrumbs, they are less absorbent and give a lighter covering, so the fish will soak up less oil if you cook it in a pan.
