If you have lemons, tilapia fillets, swiss cheese, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the lemons you could follow this main course with the Blackberry Lemon Chess Pie w/ Honey Jumbleberry Sauce. How I won the SF Food Wars – Pie or Die Competition as a dessert. It works well as a pricey main course. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, primal, fodmap friendly, and pescatarian diet. Smothered Tilapia, Smothered Tilapia Fillets – 5 Points, and Tilapian in Mushroom Sauce (Tilapian en Salsa de Champiñones) are very similar to this recipe.

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

Tilapia can be paired 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. The Mark West Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
