PAN-SEARED TILAPIA WITH LEMON-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat wine, lemon juice and shallots to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil uncovered 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half.
• Add whipping cream to pan and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Boil uncovered 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from heat and add lemon peel. Beat in butter, 1 piece at a time, with wire whisk, adding the next piece only after the first has been completely beaten in and melted. When all of the butter has been beaten in, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and the white pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.
• In 12-inch skillet (preferably nonstick), heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot. Add fish and cook 3 minutes. Flip and cook 3 minutes longer or until edges begin to brown and fish flakes easily with fork.
• To serve, spoon sauce over fish and sprinkle with nuts.

TILAPIA PICCATA

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter. Blot tilapia dry and season both sides with salt and pepper and then dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Add to pan and brown 4 - 5 minutes per side. Remove to plate and set aside.
• Turn heat down and add garlic, shallots and lemon slices. Sauté for about 30 to 60 seconds, until starting to soften and fragrant. Pour in wine and stir and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until reduced by half.
• Add chicken stock, lemon juice and capers. Simmer and stir for 2 - 3 minutes until reduced by about half. Stir in a small knob of butter, if desired, to finish off sauce and make it extra silky.
• Taste for salt, pepper and acidity, adjust if needed. Return tilapia to skillet, simmer, spooning sauce over fish until warmed through. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!

PAN SEARED TILAPIA WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Season both sides of the fish with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Melt two tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of olive oil.
• Work in batches of two and carefully place the tilapia into the hot pan. Cook the tilapia for 4 minutes before flipping and cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and repeat with the second batch. Keep the tilapia warm by covering loosely with foil.
• Add the minced shallots and garlic to the same pan and cook for two to three minutes or until fragrant and soft. Add in the wine and lemon juice, bring to a boil over medium-high heat until it thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the capers, parsley and lemon zest, then taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired.
• Place the fish back into the skillet and spoon sauce over top before serving with a few slices of fresh lemon and a light drizzle of olive oil.

PAN-SEARED TILAPIA

Steps:

• To make the salsa: Stir the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro together in a small bowl. Stir in the lime juice, olive oil and chile. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the fish.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Pour enough canola oil into a large frying pan to generously coat the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
• While the oil is heating, season as many of the fillets as will fit in the pan comfortably with salt and pepper. Dredge the seasoned fillets in flour to coat both sides and shake off the excess flour. Carefully slip the coated snapper into the hot oil and give the pan a little shake to prevent sticking. Cook until lightly golden on the underside side, about 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and cook until the thickest part of the fillets are opaque at the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining fillets, adding more oil to the pan, if necessary.
• Serve warm, passing the tomato salsa separately.

PAN SEARED LEMON TILAPIA WITH PARMESAN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over medium heat, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the macaroni uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of the tilapia fillets with lemon juice, oregano, basil, cilantro, salt, and pepper, and lay the fillets in the heated skillet, making sure they don't touch. Sear the fillets for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, until the fish is golden brown on the outside, and opaque and flaky inside.
• Return the hot, cooked macaroni to the saucepan, and stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat the pasta. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese, stir to mix, and stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, the garlic powder, basil, oregano, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Divide the pasta between two plates, and top each with a tilapia fillet.
