4 - 5 minutes.
  • Stir in beans and corn and heat through. If using fresh or frozen corn, it
    may take several more minutes to cook until corn is done. Transfer to serving plates and keep
    warm.
  • Wipe out skillet and heat remaining butter or oil. Salt and pepper tilapia and cook,
    turning once, over medium-high heat until center looks opaque when poked into. This will only
    take a few minutes if fillets are thin and a bit longer if they are thicker. Don't overcook.
  • Put fillets on corn and bean "beds" with a little of the mixture on top. Serve with lemon
    wedges, if using.
