Sauteed Ono (or Tilapia) with Balsamic Butter Sauce recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

This is the finale to the Balsamic Butter Sauce meal. Why call it a meal based on that? Well, because I covered every single thing on my plate with this lovely Balsamic Butter Sauce right before serving the meal. Yes, it really was that good.

The original recipe called for tilapia. However, we are huge fans of ono lately, so I used that instead. It was very good. I think in this instance though, the tilapia might have been even better.

My husband insists that it was perfect as is, but I’m still thinking that tilapia would have been better. A more delicate fish might have been even more perfect with that amazing sauce. And this meal was most definitely all about the sauce!

    I have never heard of or seen Ono in the grocery store or the fish market in NH. I will have to ask specifically next time I am at the fish market if they ever have it. What type of fish is it and what is the taste similar too? I will definitely be making a batch or two of balsamic butter sauce to drizzle over the tilapia I just bought, the asparagus, the brussels sprouts, the bagels…… lol Thank you for the wonderful recipes! You make me look SO GOOD in the kitchen!! =)
