Easy Baked Tilapia with Cream Sauce


I love cooking Tilapia.
  Its such a universal fish. I can think of 5 different recipes off the top of my head right now that I've made that are completely different then the next. And it cooks fast which is always a plus in my house! Heres a recipe I made a few nights ago on a whim & an hour til dinner.

Ingredients for fish
6 tilapia thawed 1 large lemon cut into slices Salt & Pepper to taste In a glass baking dish add fish filets & salt pepper to taste. Place slices of lemon on top & a tab of butter per filet.(or drizzle olive oil)
For Sauce
1 yellow onion chopped up into small pieces
2 tbs of garlic powder (depending how much you like the taste more or less)
4 cups of heavy whipped cream (can substitute with half & half)
3 tbs of butter to add to cream and 1tbs for saute' or 2tbs of olive oil for saute'
1 cup white wine In medium saucepan use medium heat & melt 1bs butter. Add onion and garlic powder. Saute' until onions are softened and butter is mostly evaporated. Add white wine & simmer for 4 minutes
Add cream and stir in remaining butter and whisk consistently until sauce thickens. Bake Tilapia at 400 for 25 minutes or until fish flakes with fork (say that 5 times fast!) Plate tilapia and drizzle cream sauce over filets. I served these with broccoli & lemon wedges (sorry didn't get the pictures after they were plated & sauce was on but they were delicious)
