How to Make Tilapia In Crazy Water

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, white wine, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Season the tilapia fillets generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Gently place the tilapia fillets into the simmering liquid. Ensure the fish is fully submerged.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and poach for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the tilapia fillets from the poaching liquid and set aside.
  6. Discard the poaching liquid (unless you want to reduce it and use it as a sauce).
  7. Serve the tilapia immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired.
