Recipe:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet and saute the garlic and shallots until soft.
2. Add the tilapia fillets and saute for 2 minutes more - one for each side.
3. Grease lightly a baking dish and arrange the tilapia fillets in it, in one layer.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet with the garlic and shallots and saute for 1-2 minutes, just to warm them up.
5. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and pour the contents of the skillet over the tilapia fillets.
6. Season the dish to taste and bake in a preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
7. Using kitchen spatula, serve the baked tilapia fillets over cooked white rice or capellini noodles, if desired.
Tilapia is easy to cook, inexpensive fish, and contains lots of protein, but is often farmed in unsanitary conditions in Asia. Do some research before you buy it. I have seen in some sushi restaurants tilapia being used instead of red snapper, without telling the customer, because the flash of tilapia and red snapper are similar in texture, but tilapia is way cheaper.
