A delightful dish combining tender tilapia with a rich and creamy leek sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Mix the sour cream and flour in a small bowl until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is lump-free for a smooth sauce.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, salt, pepper, and half the water. Cover and cook until the leeks are tender, stirring occasionally.
Cut the leeks into even slices for uniform cooking.
Stir the sour cream mixture and the remaining water into the leeks. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the sour cream mixture gradually to avoid curdling.
Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Place them on top of the leeks, cover, and cook until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Avoid overcooking the fish to keep it tender.
Serve the tilapia with the creamy leek sauce, garnished with fresh dill.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
