4 servings Prep: 20 mins Cook: 25 mins
Ingredients
- 4 tilapia fillets (5 to 6 oz. each)
- 6 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 1 cup (2 oz.) fresh breadcrumbs
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (from 8 ears)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup EVOO
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes, cut into wedges
Directions
- Season the fish with salt and pepper and place on a large plate; spread 1 1/2 tbsp. mustard evenly on top of each piece. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the mustard, pressing to adhere. Refrigerate while you make the creamed corn.
- Using a food processor, puree 3 cups corn kernels. Transfer to a small saucepan and stir in the remaining 1 cup kernels. Add the butter and cook over medium heat until hot, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- In a nonstick skillet, heat 2 tbsp. EVOO over medium-high heat. Add 2 pieces of fish crumb side down, reduce the heat to medium and cook, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 2 tbsp. EVOO and fish.
- Serve the fish on a bed of the creamed corn. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the tomato wedges. Season with pepper.
