1. For the Chutney: Combine the vinegar and sugar in a medium size pot and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Add all dry ingredients to vinegar and steep mixture on med-low heat to syrupy like consistency.
2. For the Tilapia: Preheat a cast iron skillet on med./high heat. Generously season Tilapia with dry seasoning all over and rub down the Tilapia with soft butter. When pan is smoking hot, place fillets in pan and cook for about three minutes on each side. Depending on how large the fillets are, the longer they should cook.
