Pan Fried Tilapia With Limoncello Sauce image

Had the most amazing mahi mahi with limoncello sauce at a great Italian restaurant, the chef gave me hints of what was in the sauce, so i experimented, tweeked and lots of samplings later,,here it is..sooo wonderful. I used tilapia but any white fish would work. To plate..place the sauteed fish over a bed of creamed potatoes and pour the sauce over the top..I served with minted peas, fresh green beans and baked tomatoes( baked with anchovies, garlic, basil and olive oil)

The fish was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but otherwise it was good. I think I would try using less limoncello next time.
