A delightful and easy-to-make tilapia dish with a rich garlic balsamic glaze.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Using fresh garlic enhances the flavor of the glaze.
In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until it reduces to a thick syrup, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the reduction to prevent burning.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the fish to achieve a nice sear.
Place the tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the fish to a serving plate.
Let the fish rest for a minute to retain its juices.
Cut the butter into small cubes and whisk into the balsamic reduction one piece at a time until smooth.
Adding the butter gradually helps to emulsify the sauce.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the tilapia fillets and serve immediately.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
