Put the peppers into a relatively hot pan. Start with the cut side down. This way as they cook they will flatten a bit. So when you turn them over more of the pepper’s surface will come in contact with the pan.

Get them good and brown on both sides, but do not cook them too long. You want a little crispness left in them so you don’t dissipate all their fiery goodness.
4
Remove them to a plate, but keep them handy.
5
Salt both sides of the fillets and dust them with a small amount of Wondra. Melt one or two tablespoons of butter in the same pan. When the butter gets foamy, but not yet brown, add the fish to the pan. Cook for 1 ½ minutes. Flip the fillets. Return the jalapenos to the pan.

Equipment

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine

Tilapia works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try St. Michael-Eppan Anger Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 23 dollars per bottle.

Depending on the soil and microclimate, Pinot gris varies from a simple everyday wine all the way up to absolute top growths. The warm, sun-exposed vineyards of the Anger sites, with their loamy limestone gravel soils, are a textbook example. The Anger Alto Adige Pinot Grigio has a noble structure, nice balance and fine acidity – making it an absolute pleasure to drink. The strong white goes well with fish and fish soup, guinea fowl breast or veal fillet.
