    Course Main dish
    Cuisine Colombian
    Servings 2 servings

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 6 oz Tilapia fillets
    • Salt and pepper
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • ¼ cup chopped onion
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • ½ pound Portobello mushrooms cleaned and sliced
    • ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 2 cups milk
    • Salt and pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Season both sides of tilapia fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets and cook 3 to 5 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, set a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the mushrooms, onions, garlic and thyme to the pan and cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
    • Sprinkle the flour into the pan, stir to combine, and cook the roux, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk the milk into the saucepan. Season the sauce with the salt and pepper and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until sauce is thick and smooth and any floury taste is gone, about 5 minutes.
    • Top tilapia with mushroom mixture just before serving.

    Tilapia in mushroom saucePin

    Fish in mushroom sauce is a dish that I usually get in restaurants in Colombia. Some fish commonly used in this recipe are catfish and trout, and it is usually served with patacón and salad. I love tilapia and I had it in my refrigerator, so used it instead and it turned out very well!

      I love that creamy mushroom sauce... I would eat anything if it was topped with that beautiful flavor. But this dish looks perfect alround...and I love the cous cous with almonds too...do you have the recipe for that posted ?

      I made this with tilapia and it was soooo good! Everyone loved it, even the non-fish eaters. For a cream sauce this is on the light side but it tastes like the fully fattening version. I will definitely be making this again!

      I loved this, and so did my husband, who is very picky about sauce on anything. I don’t often have much luck with random Internet recipes, but this is definitely a keeper! I agree with the comment above that it tastes much richer than the ingredients warrant.
